Thanks Local Chap this forum is amazing at bringing the impossible to reality.I have never seen the Shilo photo,s before .I have gone from thinking I had the only REL radar trailer, to now they are like mushrooms popping up every where it is wonderfull to see. I suppose if we had the whole outfit we would have a couple of FWD HAR 01s and a C60L.
Has anyone found an ARN on any of the Australian trailers?
Cheers Ken

No Ken - are there any data plate positions on these trailers you may know about? Serial numbers? etc?

Perhaps a standard position that they painted the ARN & we may be able to rub or wet the paint to see what lies beneath.....

Tony the only data plate I have found is a tiny one on the turntable which is the Research Enterprise Limited data plate and that doesn't have much info on it. I haven't found anywhere that a plate might have been on the trailer and no sign of a ARN,I have a feeling I read some where that the trailers were made by one of the Canadian mainstream trailer makers.I haven't found any numbers stamped straight on the frame but I will have another look when the ground dries out and I can get up the paddock.
Cheers Ken

Robert that would be very nice to have and it is within border raid distance to.The data plate is very well preserved.Does your truck have a Canadian cab or an Australian one?
Cheers Ken
