Swap meet
I was out and about and the local MV club swap meet was on.
The info on the White scout car as I was informed: it was only recently sold through a Govt. auctioneers . It was kept in storage on a army base and was used into the 1970s as a parade ground vehicle, there is a door cut into the rear for easier access for the 'Generals' to climb aboard.

A good turnout of vehicles.
More vehicles.. the artillery on display wasn't towed to the event !
The 1969 army XY Falcon utilty is a comfortable ride....

Tracked truck
I am a little surprised that nobody commented on the hull that is sitting in the rotary jig.
It a 'Tracked Truck' undergoing a restoration. A prototype for a all terrain cargo carrying vehicle . There is a comprehensive 'test' report available online , one of many trial or test reports on equipment, these reports are held in the National Archives of Australia. Go to the NAA site: naa.gov.au Do a search 'test report' Title Test Instruction number 996 - Test Request number 304 - Trucks, tracked, 1 ton GS Tractor Tracked TD 9 [includes 4 bound copies of report] [See also TI996A] Contents range 1944 - 1945 Series number MT801/1 Control symbol TI-996 Access status Open Item ID 649463

Another Aussie dud
Project didn't go beyond the user trials phase: all the combat-experienced potential users in NG dubbed it "not a service requirement".

Yikes!
That would certainly put pressure on recovery teams to unstick vehicles before the tide came back in! David

Original patina
This turned up at a club event recently.
This Chev has survived in its original 1950s (?) livery. The markings are original and have not been reapplied. Owner is wanting info on the RAAF number. The all steel body has drop sides. The cab has GM-H features.
