Default some more

One of the Grants was well hidden and surrounded by piles of metal and undergrowth.

They still have a lot of good bits on them. I wonder what they looked like years ago.

I can hardly believe it, but I took this pic of a C15A Wireless Sigs van at Murrayville back in 1973, 39 years ago.

Hi Keith, I wonder what happened to the Blitz. I can see a Grant lurking in the background too.
I noticed between my photos and those of Rick Cove's, one of the Grants is now missing it's 75mm gun mantlet.

I have a number of other shots taken at the same time, but in B&W. Will have to dig them up. I imagine there were lots more things there at the time.

No need for a Border Raid, Luke. Murrayville is in Victoria. Just got to keep those pesky SA blokes away.

Hi Guys

We are ever on guard duty watching for those pesky Victorian raiders.

Cheers
