Does anyone recognise this type of crane ?
Is it WW2 vintage and what would it normally be found on ?

Andrew, That Commer bus may have been one of the Melbourne TAA City to Airport buses. I remember them from when I was a little bloke. I was always amazed by the upstairs bit.
Regards Rick.

Default F15a

At least there's an engine cover there.
Looks like it's in no-rust territory, but if it can't be ruined by rust they bash it to pieces like this poor thing.
