Border Raiding...

[jack neville]

Warning.! I will be conducting a secret border raid from my forward base at Corowa this year, deep into NSW. The prize? To be revealed.

Keith,

I hope you are sealing off that shed, calling in the licensed Asbestos Clean Up Crew, informing the HAZMAT people at the EPA, placing barriers at a certified safe distance to keep the general public, sheep and cattle safe from air-borne asbestos fibres and were wearing a full-face mask filter system (pos pressure) certified for the prevention of the ingress of asbestos fibres when you took that shot!!!

Love the bright blue V8, by the way.....

I held my breath and was careful not to make any air currents.
Actually I was looking for more of the stuff as I hear it is a good insulator.
At least it's not the blue asbestos! But of course I do understand it is a potentially hazardous material, to be treated with respect.
Whilst the engine is an appealing shade of blue there will be an unappealing shade of brown rust in at least two of the cylinders.

How do you know it is not blue asbestos? Strike out the potentially, it is hazardous - as in carcinogenic - material. Best to wet it down well before handling it.

PS: that is one great Cab 12 you have there, Keith!

Yes, apart from some bullet holes (old vandalism) and very minor rust she's very low mileage, just run in really. Shame she's missing the original rear body (Machinery Workshop) and the engine has water in it.

Hanno, there are far more dangerous things around there than asbestos, think spiders and snakes
