Many years ago the VMVC went on a club trip to the Monageeta test track. They let us drive our vehicles around some sections of the test tracks.... reliving what happened during WW2 . Probably wouldn't be possible today with the higher security being enforced everywhere. Interesting history that place has .. I believe even one of our MLU members when in the army , drove vehicles there .. trying to break them

I don't think it would be that out of the question because I think the facility can still be hired by other users.

Their photo collection would certainly be interesting to see.

This is one of the metropolitan breakdown trucks built on surplus C60S No6 arty tractors.

This Mack may be the same one for sale on FarmHub.

From what I can see in the photo, it is a NM Mack 6x6. This I believe, is a very rare truck.
