Were these trailers towed by Blitz's? I see there is no pics of one behind a Blitz in the above responses. I ask as there is one coming up in a clearing sale. I don't have a pic of it.

Yes they were Ryan. The AIF used 134in WB Blitz's as tractor units.

Thanks Cliff. I'll try and make it to the sale. If it looks like the trailers in the above photos I'll have a crack at it. It's listed as an old mcgrath farm trailer.

Ryan, you should take a few photos of the stuff at the clearing sale for those who cant attend?

No worries!

I think it was one of the vehicles that accompanied the early Land Rover Ambulance trials - the trip through Qld and central Australia, early 1960s.

Phoenix or Tommy do you remember these images?

Diana, I hope that was a typo, and you meant KODACHROME.
