A lifetime of army trucks

[Stuart Kirkham]

G'day Archie M

I would be most interested if you could dig out any photos you may have from your years of Wheelin' an' Dealin'. If so, could you post them on this forum for all to see.

Last time I was at your yard in Maddington, you still had the old Albion GunTractor and a Staghound sitting out front. Oh, those were the days.

By the way, would you have imported this old girl?

Hello Tommy and thanks your interest.

You remember my maddington yard well I see !

Yes i do have many old pictures but am not very computer literate and would not know how to do it !

I have written 247 pages of my autobiography which have been published in the Veteran Car Club magazine, "Early Auto" also the Rover car Club have published them in their magazine.

I am hoping to write a section dealing with the WW2 period when i was a schoolboy on the Sussex coast and saw much of the action, also the period 1945- 1950 when i was a teenager.

If i do write those sections, i will probably put the whole lot together into a book, it depends on whether i think there would be a Demand for it.?


If i do that then many of the pictures will be included in it.

Sorry to say the old leyland you pictured was not one of mine.

Nice to see you have a number of land rovers, i also have three but now wish to sell them as i also have a 1936 Humber Cabriolet which was originally exhibited in Olympia Motor show in oct 1936 as the Sunbeam Thirty. See my website www.iinet.net.au/~awep1208/humber/ I have been restoring that car for about seven years and now wish to concentrate on finishing it.

Best regards,
Archie M.
