Max, My Grandfather Allan (Also known as A.A) bought heaps of Blitz trucks at army disposal auctions. They were transported by train to Ganmain & he sold hundreds of 'em all over the countryside. I was told by someone (not sure who now) that they remember coming to Ganmain & seeing a heap of trucks being unloaded at the rail yards which were directly across from the shed. I have been lead to believe the Holgate Garage was THE place for Blitz sales, service & parts. Who knows I am enjoying all of this so much it may become that way again!
And yes we are related to the Dalton Holgates. About 4 generations removed. My side thought wheat would be better than sheep. Poor decision.
A Blitz would probably be one of the newest vehicles Dalton, wouldn't it?
