The narrator makes it sound like the film was of the RAAF testing the usefulness of the GPA and DUKW as flying boat tenders - which is supported by the fact that the vehicles shown were Army - two different DUKWs (one with unit/formation markings) and a GPA. I noted the pronunciation of DUKW, too, Mike: gave me a laugh - 'Duck-wah'!
The RAAF officially received a number of DUKWs but only one GPA: they possibly would have made more use of the GPA than the Army did, but only the one was transferred from Army holdings and re-registered with an RAAF registration. Nice film, Mike, thanks for providing the link. Mike .
