Thought I would reactivate this thread again.
Just had a call from Alan B. the owner of the TL37 already mentioned and he now has the second vehicle and photos of it or them being used in New Guinea. The second TL37 has been recovered from Braidwood NSW. but I believe it is a bit of a mess. I have asked him to forward copies of the photos and other information for me to upload. WATCH THIS SPACE!!. Regards Rick

When the remains of the vehicle arrived at Narre Warren on loan many years ago, I remember John Belfield telling me about the two vehicles being taken to NG, and I was as skeptical as he had been.
Then he showed me the photos! Don't remember if he had copied them, or if they were in the owner's album, but there was no room for doubt. Quite a story, and I wonder how the Unit QM was ever able to 'account' for them in the movements inventory between ME and Aust, then Aust to NG, then back to Aust. The man must have been a miracle worker. Mike C |

Well, quite a few years since the last post.
The owner has it a Corowa as we speak. Looks like nothing has progressed since the above discussion 4 years ago. he says he is working on front guards but no discussion of the seemingly complicated pressed steel body. Sale has been offered but I suspect it might take a serious investment. It is nice to see such an unusual bit of history preserved and brought out for display. Lang |
