Could not say for sure
The paint what i could see was pretty much all over in the blue so could very well be ex RAAF
Looks like it served after the war Towing at Mount Victoria

Interesting to think it was probably in towing service postwar within miles of Keiths FGT No9 at Blackheath

Youngs towing is what was painted on the side Keith

Have had a bit of a sand to try and find the ARN on the Sigvan today

The best i can guess is 96951 with both 9's being questionable possibly 8's or 0's

Engine number is wr3815505

Has anyone got ARN records in this bracket with details ?
