Default Aussie Haflinger pictures wanted

Hi all,

I am after any pictures of Aussie Army Haflingers, since there were only a small amount of them in service I am trying to locate a "in service" picture of mine, the vehicle I own is ARN 101 858.

I know that it is a long shot, however I am also chasing an original Aussie Army canvas canopy for the Haflinger.

Try the Australian Army Survey Corps (I think they have been absorbed into another corps Engineers, Logistics???). They were based in Albury.

I think they were the main users of these vehicles. They were the only ones I saw operating them in my time in the Army. A bit like amphibious jeeps - when everyone saw them they just had to have one but once they got it they did not know what to use the damn thing for.

I think there are a couple of Haflingers at the Bandianna Army Museum (Albury-Wodonga area) still in service colours. MLU member Ian Pullen would know as thats his baliwick, may be worth giving him a PM.
Terrific little things.
Rich.

G'day All, There is one unit inside the musuem, but never having been on a tour of the backblocks so to speak who would know what is hidden away cheers Dennis
