Default March

The Melbourne march is currently on TV as I type this message ..been going for 4 hours .. seems to be a noticeable less restored military vehicles in the march this year , more old 20's vintage cars and 1960's Mustangs and RR cars carrying veterans . But I spotted a well known C8AX CMP and a few jeeps .

I drove my Jeep in the march from 1979 to 83 .. I was lucky to be allocated the WW1 Australian Flying Corps... amazing old chaps .. One fella I had in my Jeep was a pilot who flew RE8 aircraft over the WW1 battle fields. The casualty rate was appalling for those WW1 aircrew guys.
