A movie telling the story of the Leonski murders was filmed in Melbourne in the mid 80s. The title is 'Death of a soldier' and it starred James Coburn. A number of VMVC members supplied vehicles for the various shoots including myself, Alf Brooks, Bernie Brooks and Keith Gardener. James Coburn struck me as a nice guy with no pretensions. Strangely enough Bernie lived in Gatehouse street not far from where one of the murders was committed.
The GMC in the photo is in fact a Chev 1-1/2 ton 4x4, or 'Yankee Joe' as they are commonly known in Australia. David
