Default Trackers

I think Euan and other trackers may have some comments to make once they return home... I'm sure comments like:

"How many military collectors will think twice about travelling to a militaria or gun show?"

will be sure to cause a wry smile... so far on this trip a certain Chevrolet gun tractor has travelled 7,500km and will have covered some 10,000 km by the end, with fuel prices in the outback sometimes topping the A$2 per litre price.
All this and a full engine rebuild on the way.

Euan mentioned he was able to buy AVGAS at one location at about 40c cheaper per litre and actually had a grey tailpipe as a result of the lead which is still used in that fuel.
