Default Found him

Amazing what you can find. I do recall he said they had a annual holiday and towed a caravan to QLD with the Pontiac . I asked him if he had any photos of the QLD trips but he didn't seem to have any.

Default Arn

Funny thing is, these Pontiac utes don't appear to be in the ARN books . Does anybody have any ideas ? Maybe they were all issued to either the RAAF or the US forces , therefore not being in the Aust. army system. they were not issued a ARN
