Loved the before and after pics Tony, and enjoyed seeing it evolve over the years.
Rich.

Tony

Ten years of well spent effort. Fantastic example of the less common #12 cab and a 60 cwt. as a bonus.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the kind words,

A few more of beforehand. Takes a very discerning eye, to be able to see a potential gem buried underneath a serious amount of rework.

One such eye is that of Keith Webb, not to mention Howard Holgate.

Thanks, Tony, I'll say g'day next time. Your progress gives me a bit of .encouragement, to get my beastie going! It fascinates me to see what's really involved, and I've been told not to put a timeframe on anything, restoration-wise!

I wouldn't mind having a chat someday, as you've solved a few queries that I know I'm going to encounter. The canvas work is one; was it done locally?

Anyway, thank you again, for letting us have a look at what you've done. Nice to know I have a number of local examples to follow.

Cheers,
Matt

Default Trip to Temora

How spoilt are we around Ganmain?

To be able to jump in the truck to go and watch WW2 aircraft do aerobatic displays, the answer is obvious.

Despite the skies the weather, temperature wise, was perfect.

A couple of photo's from the day

Default Mora Temora

Looks like a ghost town, but it got busy later on. I was fending kids off mine and Ian Styles vehicles for most of the day and turning off light switches the cheeky buggers had turned on. All good fun

Jeez the planes look good in the air (as well as on the ground)
