30 cwt and 3 ton Aust CMPs with extinguisher brackets
Gents, we were talking in the first instance about its application on the 15-cwt truck. But it is interesting to widen the scope of the thread and look across the entire Aust CMP fleet.
30 cwt ambulance C30: fitted with one Extinguisher, fire, 2 gal, foam.
3 ton garage and 3 ton stores do not list a 2 gallon extinguisher as part of the VOL.
Maybe the stores and garage trucks were used by the local bush fire brigade after their service life? Maybe some Army unit thought it to be a good idea? I've no idea why those would have the extinguisher mounts when those vehicle types were not officially fitted with a 2 gallon extinguisher, but there are plenty of possibilities for them being fitted either during or after service.
Have others come across the extinguisher mounts on 3 ton or 30 cwt CMPs?
Mike
