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

Peter,

I might have a lead on some photos. Just snapshots taken in the field (Tasmania I think) by a mate who was in Survey Corps in the 70's. He says he will get back to me. Will keep you posted.

In my search I found out there were only 16,000 Haflingers built in their whole production life and the Australian Army ordered 50 but there is some doubt all 50 were taken into service.

Hi all,
Thanks to all the replies, I have a copy of the ARN list and it appears that there were 45 vehicles and 45 trailers.
Please keep the information coming, it is all appreciated.
Peter
