Hi Sascha,
I was hoping that my post would elicit a response and it could not have been better. Robert is still around, his collection has become a recognised museum, you've grown up and become involved in it, the Studebaker is still there and appreciated and the Staghound parts were received. All good news.
Please give my regards to your dad and keep up the good work.
Cheers
David

It is a pleasure to have contact with you again, and thanks for the regards from dad! He sends them back. We are considering to visit you once in Australia in the future. Our baker where you bought the breakfast travels a lot to Australia, it would be great to see you again.

Here is a picture of your Studebaker at an exhibition at Museum of Austrian Army in Vienna some years ago:


My Dad loved your US6 that much that he designed his Ford GPW after it:

Thanks Sascha the truck looks as good as it did the last time I saw it. The markings were applied by David McCallum who accompanied us on the Normandy tour and is still around. He selected them from a range of options supplied by Mike Cecil, Australian military vehicle historian (published). At the time Mike was working for the Australian War Memorial, he has since moved to the U.S.
If you do come to Australia you would be most welcome to stay here. Keep in mind that it is a big country so there are often great distances between points of interest. Allow yourself plenty of time.
Cheers

David

Here is the datasheet for the Studebaker from our museum:


We made a movie last year with it, for that he got a soviet design. But after that we built it back to the australien design. Interesting story about the markings. If you want more new pictures just tell me. Have a lot on my phone. And also some videos when we drove in Italy on the street after the movie shot. I will upload that on our youtube channel and on our facebook page. I will let you know.
Thanks for your invitation! I´m looking forward to come to Australia as soon as possible. But I guess our baker will be there faster. He is traveling almost once a year to Australia.
