austin Ambulance
Hi Mike
good pic, at a quick glance it appears to be a 1945 model, over for the Atomic tests, Woomera I will have a better look. rego C-58849 ch.no 76098, WD No.A5850998 contract S.8543, is the only one i know of in Australia. Although to be fair the WD Nos for this contract are not known, But this would have been the WD no. allotted under contract S.3165 which had originally covered these ch.nos, but was cut short. regs Rupert Last edited by rupert condick; 24-12-22 at 02:28.

Looks like the Austin is on the atomic test site, with the gantry in the background visible, that I have seen in other photos.
