Australian surplus auctions

[Keith Webb]

The fleet of Cats is a sad story. They were predestined to have that fate, however as they were supplied to Australia to operate the incredibly long Perth to Ceylon route during the war. They were all destroyed as part of the agreement.

As for destruction of equipment, my father in law was involved in it on Morotai where the sport was to drive large trucks (he called them tank transporters) flat out to the cliff's edge, then jump off at the last moment onto a Jeep running alongside. Heady stuff to a 20 year old indeed.
