Default Another Unnamed RAAF Crane

Hello All,

I found another unnamed manufacturer of the crane and a similarly unidentified truck raising a Kittyhawk Fighter Plane.

The Australian War Memorial describe the scene as:

ID number MEA0386
Collection type Photograph
Object type Black & white - Film original negative 120 nitrate
Maker Le Guay, Laurence Craddock
Date made 1943
Description Sicily, Italy. 1943. Personnel of No. 3 (Kittyhawk) Squadron RAAF, with members of the Repair and Salvage Unit who supplied a crane on the back of a truck to adjust an engine in an aircraft. No. 3 Squadron maintained the servicing of aircraft. Accessed April 9th 2016 from, https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/MEA0386

What breed of crane and truck are they? Is it something like a Scammell?

Kind Regards
Lionel
