Default Auf deutsch

Entschuldigungen Chris - aber Sie kennen I' m focht extrem an, wann es zu sprechendem Deutschem kommt. Wussten Sie dort sind eine australische Form des Deutschen? - Sein angerufener Tasmanian. Dennoch ist Diktion in jeder möglicher Sprache wichtiges & Kranke Bemühung, sie recht zukünftig zu erhalten.

Us NSWelshman may have to do something with Keith and his non-symmetrical haircut!

Default Now it's safe and well inside the Victorian border...

I can reveal Euan is the lucky man and this is his treasure:

We know that but things like this are traditionally not announced until the item in question has been secured.

This is a South Australian Railways built LP2A carrier, hull number 4993 built in 1943.

It is naturally missing a few of the chunky items such as the engine, gearbox and radiator but in it's favour is very intact in many other respects, not the least being it's almost unmolested hull.

Here are a couple more pictures:

I tried to answer this morning but the clouds came in thick and blocked the saterlight
I understand what you said Keith but as this was your birthday thread I was guessing you had snatched the perfict Blitz from under the noses of the unsuspecting locals
Euan can I congratulate you on your purchase or will Katrina give me a backhander for encourageing this rash purchase

Imagine that! A Birthday Cake with an exploding cigar in it!

As a result of the Victorians deftly employing Soviet "Maskirovka" techniques (Trans: trickery, deception ), the NSW Border Raiding Patrol was duped into defending the "Last Remaining Unrestored FGT in NSW" from interested parties round the clock for a whole cold, wet Long Weekend, while all along the real objective was in fact some Farmer's Grain Silo, which was then discovered to have a Carrier next to it! (A Carrier, BTW, which we had already BR'd from SA!)

"F" Troop, NSWBRP have thrown the book (actually a Training Pamphlet on "Misinformation and Counter-Intelligence") at Int Sec, who have gone away to assiduously study said book.

Mutter, mutter: Congrats on a nice find, Euan!

And maybe something to Euan's hair as well. No wonder you kept that quiet!
