He told me it was a KB but that was as far as I know a post-war series. The military ones were KS5, usually just called K5.

Same truck, but the "S" means 2 speed Eaton rear diff.

Many of those wartime Inters had the composite cab with a sunroof , the cab has a wooden frame .The K3 and larger models have apparently survived in good numbers but the lighter types are rare for some reason . Many moons ago, in 1977 , a club member found a unusual little military K1 ute, this ute had the sunroof cab . I've never seen another like it - the vehicle I remember was in Clayton where I looked it over but its wherabouts today , I also recall a military K2 with its original wooden/angle iron GS body up near Yea - again its fate is unclear, I know a club member bought it but I think it ended up scrapped

The total vehicles is 223 plus 6 bicycles. The total number of carriers is 14 including 2 LP1's, 1 British 3inch Mortar Carrier and 2 Strickland's. The total number of Land Rovers were 41. The total number of Jeeps was 74 plus 6 GPA's. I have gone back through the vehicle lists since 2008 and have compared the number of Land Rovers to Jeeps. You might want to spread the word that next year is Year of the Land Rover otherwise it will end up looking more like Year of the jeep if their numbers are higher. There are people already planning to bring their Jeeps so the Land Rovers may not outnumber them.
2008 - Land Rovers 23 and Jeeps 58
2009 - Land Rovers 22 and Jeeps 45
2010 - Land Rovers 24 and Jeeps 180
2011- Land Rovers 49 and Jeeps 65
2012 - Land Rovers 19 and Jeeps 66
2013 - Land Rovers 25 and Jeeps 71
2014 - Land Rovers 32 and Jeeps 84
2015 - Land Rovers 40 and Jeeps 79
2016- Land Rovers 30 and Jeeps 81
2017 - Land Rovers 41 and Jeeps 80

these numbers also include GPA's

There will be a complete vehicle attendance list posted soon
