I can think of several reasons why CMPs might finish up towing these trailers in Australia so I'm yet to be convinced they didn't. However I don't know much about the subject so I shall read up on it before engaging in too much speculation.

BTW what kind of trailer is this one:

I am not even sure that it is a radar trailer. Its not a GL 1 Tx or Rx cabin nor is it a GL 2...Could possibly be some kind of GCI. Have seen mobile command caravans or radio communications vans that look like that.

A working bee was held yesterday and the radar Van is near it's external restoration and will be going to Corowa this year as our Site Office.
