Default somewhere in NZ

probably Waiouru as my father took it during his training, circa 1943.

Engineers training....possibly a test after constructing the bridge?

Nice carrier. Can anyone ID the truck and would the car in the background be military or civilian?

The car is easy, it is a General Motors product, Probably a 1939 Chev. Cannot tell if it is military of civilian though. The truck a bit harder, possibly a late 1930's Thornycroft.

Regards Rick.

Looks like an "R2/6" inside an oval on the door of the truck, but I can't find my good glass eye at the moment to be certain.

Default scans

Hi Dave, private message me your email and I can send you my 700Kb versions.
Unfortunately my scanner only scans at 300 Dpi

Glad the images have struck a note with someone.

T33232 is / was,a Wolseley MkI U.C. from the same batch as P. Ashton's (T33452) and the McDell's (T33286)
By the look of it, NEARLY all the British MkI U.C's came from this batch.
All the rest of N.Z's British U.Cs. are in the T80,000 to T85,000 with the Mortar carriers in the lower numbers MkI in the (T80,000+ (Sentinal Wagon)) (MkII 83,600 (Wolseley)) and the Armoured O.Ps.(Ford) being at the top end of the range (mine, T84991)
I have not kept up my list but have only one MkI* (Canadian U.C.) at T53654. (there are others)

Default T-33232 or T-33732

Brent -

Do like the pics of the Carrier, with both its T Number and its NZ VRN. Ref the first, can you confirm 33232 as Lynn sees it...I make it as poss 33732.

Default T number

sorry Roddy I can't be definitive.
T3373 2 or 7

the carrier has been playing in the mud but I would hazard a guess the last digit is a 7.

I need a higher res scanner.
