My last post on the subject......
A postscript .........
Seen here, a pre-WW2 Crossley IGL8 Derrick lorry, one of the various types of bridging vehicles. Pre-dates CMP's.

Richard,
That truck looks like something used for vertical lifting (no boom support other than brackets on the back of the truck and no horizontal strength). As you say, for bridge piles, maybe signals for putting poles in? Lang

Thanks to Everyone!
G'day all,
I had no idea when I started this thread that there were so many types of lifting configurations used on trucks in the military (specifically CMPs), and so many types of nomenclature for them. I have followed it with great interest. Thanks to Richard, Lang, Tony, Mike, Grant, Gordon, Tommy, and all the others who have contributed to this thread. The truck that started this thread is still sitting on a property south of Darwin with little likelihood of being rescued - will see what happens with it... Lang, your wordsmithing was extraordinary! Jared

Some pics of RAAF Derricks in SWPA, including what looks like a K series Inter.
