Here is Kurts Diamond T in the parade in Alice Springs in 2010.

The trailers were at the Road Transport Hall of Fame. Check out the hubs.

Default Kurt's DT's

I remember my first visit to Alice in 1992, we had a lay over during the Variety Bash and heard of a railway museum, went over there and I was more interested in the derelict trucks laying around, the two Diamond T's and trailers, a Bedford OL and a real rarity, the Rotinoff Viscount. This was 3 years before the truck museum, never thought at the time that I would be back so soon, when we were present for the opening of the Transport Hall of Fame in '95. All these trucks except the Bedford now in the museum.

Hi all:

This thread is getting pretty large, so this may have been posted earlier, but.........

A CMP in Norway in the background. I believe it was used by the SAS or some such infiltration organization sometime in the war. There was no useful caption on the photo.

One more from Norway.
Seems they kept CMP's in service for quite a long time.

Default Background?

Looks suspiciously like foreground in one of the shots, but a nice find. Love the branding on the bumper.
