The first photo which we have been discussing is Guildford aerodrome in WA. I thought this was all to familiar, we have had this photo on the forum before,
http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=18179 Also found this web page, showing one of these S&D trucks that were in RAAF service. I think the term "sweeper" was a nickname for them as it looks as though it is a fire engine of sorts, carrying a ladder, but bodywork is very similar to a cesspool tanker and gully emptier, with the tank and side stowage for hoses. Never seen a sweeper version of this truck though, doubt the engine would have had enough power to suck the dirt up. http://www.georama.com.au/RAAFFireSe...26_Drewry.html
