a further model T seen here with the the Hucks aircraft starter

Nice photo Les,

I have toyed with making a T Model Hucks Starter a couple of times but it would make the vehicle useless for road use. I do have a set of WW1 drawings of the whole set-up and a few photos of them in operation at Point Cook near Melbourne in the early 20's. Any well equipped workshop could build the whole system in a day.

There are some beautifully clear photos of Australian Light Horse Model T's set up as "Long Range Desert Group" recce cars in Palestine/Syria about 1918. I will see if I can find them on the War Memorial web site.
