Default Various scenes

A few more from the SLV

A 1941 Mercury sedan has been in a bingle. Numbers on the bonnet indicate a military application. Ford coupe ute next along.

A improvised ambulance of some kind up in the islands

Carriers in Japan circa 1950

Melbourne scene 1943. Looks like a 1939 Willys sedan in the foreground with the distinctive bug-eye headlights. The Shrine of Remembrance in the distance.

Default Old pics

Some of these pics I have posted previously but not in the higher resolution format.

Melbourne ARP exercise.

This is a 1940 Pontiac conveying returned veterans: circa1945. The Victorian two letter reg. plate scheme began in 1939 with AA-000 and ended in 1953 with ZZ-999. Many vehicle restorers make the mistake of painting a white border on the plates.

"Military 1941 Plymouth 12cwt with Dodge badging and grill." - actually in service in the Northern Territory with the Commonwealth Public Works Department.

Default Carrier

Carrier performing a balancing act.

Gas producer on a Ford sedan. I can remember VMVC member Colin Anderson making a gas producer and arriving at a club event with his vehicle running on charcoal.

I'm reasonably sure the 1/746 is the RAEME detachment of 1st Central Ordnance Depot (1COD).
