Looks like a C8, based on the inner fender panels and the mark on the front bumper where the brush bar used to attach.
No marker lights and/or remains of the wiring strip......so maybe cab 11...or early cab 12?

Or a C8/F8 powered by a Radial engine!

At least the driver looks to have more space than the average cab 11. Wouldn't they have had to raise the seat, steering, pedals etc for the driver to be high enough to see out the windows?

Back in 1942, the crazy Brits went one better:

Anyone fancy building and flying one of these 'Fleeps'? There's a replica at the Museum of Army Flying, but its only a static display...I think.

Default A hotted up Blitz (with afterburner)

At Corowa a few years ago a fellow turned up with a Blitz (what started life as a Blitz anyway) that had a jet engine mounted on the back. What made a demonstration look more impressive was a number of fuel nozzles in the exhaust that when activated gave a thirty foot flame out the back. He lit it up just outside the caravan park one evening and the constabulary were not at all amused.
Someone will have photos.

Well aren't those interesting looking rigs! For function or for show?
Here's a novel idea to get more out of our current equipment, put a CF-18 onto an MLVW chassis. It's a match made in heaven!
