Hi Diana,

I think you will find markings from either the Perth Logistics unit or 22 Construction Squadron under the paint on the Leyland/Scammel contractor I sold. (I still have the battery Key and ignition key somewhere safe - just not sure where)

A friend in the local Military vehicle club used to work on it when it was still in service. He remembered hVing to repair the transmission housing with helicoils and sure enough - one of the spare transmissions here still has that repair showing.

I sold my series 2A 88' GS yesterday which was also an ex 22 construction Squadron vehicle by coincidence.

Being an ex 26 Transport Squadron tyre biter I had secretly hoped there may have been some 158 Tank Transporter Troop markings somewhere under the paint. Both were part of 9Transport Regiment.

158 were heavy users ofthe Leyland/Scammels for Cent then Leopard carting as well as misc plant and heavy loads

Cheers

Phill
