Ballarat Swap Meet
Did a LOT of walking around the hundreds of stalls last Friday - absolutely amazing amount of useful stuff there although not a lot of it useful to me.
However, I did find (and bought) this Jerrycan dated 1940. Are there any experts on this subject on MLU?

But Euan had an even better day
He found a CMP toolbox, a Ford CMP radiator, and possibly the find of the day this pair of ultra-rare 10.50-18 tyres on Ford 5 stud rims, from something with a M-H front axle, possibly a Dingo Scout Car. They had been in a nice dark shed for decades and were in almost pristine condition, not even hard.

No wonder the Brits and Americans (and us) copied them, they were an excellent design. But the flimsy (as explained at some length elsewhere on the MLU forum) was not the same as the two gallon POL can you'd find on a CMP.

... very nice find. How does a German jerrycan find its way to Aussie?
 Here's a good site with a short overview. And there's even a book about the German Jerrycans, in English/French

If only it could talk... but a possible theory is when our troops came back to Australia with their C60L cab 12s you'd think they would have filled them with all sorts of booty...

Euan,
I don't know if you need those 10.50x18 tyres, BUT I DO. I need them for the Ford Marmon-Herrington Scout Dingo Car. Please, Please put my name on them if you don't have a use. Rick

Hey Rick, If only you had told me earlier as all I wanted was the rims so I cut the tyres off and dumped them.
Really I bought them for my folding boat semi trailer that runs 10.50 18's. Your request has been noted.

Wheels
Hey Rick,
While on the subject of wheels are you still looking for the wide wheels for your Chev as Stuart may be interested in a swap? Give me a call if so as I can get them to Corowa.

It is from the Ballarat Times, wherein there was recorded a disturbance at the United States Hotel. Seems like a bloke called Jon Skagfeld was arrested and taken into custody for being drunk & disorderly and disturbing the peace. Mebbe I was tryin' to warn the populace about the bird eatin' spiders, wandering over from Bowen, eh? Sunray would love that! Cheers...

And probably our border people still have the Skagfeld name on their 'look out for' list.
As for our deadly wildlife I think they scare Jif considerably! I remember you telling me about this document when we first met... a lonnng time ago now. Quote:

Dingo wheels and tyres
Hi Rick,
I have a spare set of wheels and tyres that I MAY not have a use for in the future. When I purchased my Dingo, I got two sets. Not promising anything but they may be surplus in the future when the resto is completed? Cheers Darren

Hi Darren,
Sorry I didn't see your post until today. We are in Singapore at present, fly out tonight for UK and to Normandy. Meeting up with the Convoy and many others at Etreham. Can I talk to you about your tyres after September? Please send me a PM> Regards Rick.
