Plymouth 12 cwt Van. I bought one of these in 1981, it was still registered ( since 1956) and I drove it home battling the busy traffic.
The brakes were very good, the engine tired, it tended to overheat. The seller used it since 1956 for family holidays to Mildura and driving to work at CIG Preston.
It was generally worn out and needed a lot of work. I eventually sold it to a member of the Chrysler car club.

These WW1 RFC motorcycles have been I.D. as Phelon & Moore. One has surfaced in N.Z. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/...-military-bike

A rear view of a rare 1941/42 Ford 12 cwt military ute . The RAAF seemed to use these more than the army did.

Not seen the unusual triangle camo before. Somebody has bent the rules and applied some artistic license !

'Follow me' jeep and army Ford (?) staff cars . The Plymouth sedans have a similar side profile.

Default Ford
Further investigation reveals what could be a 41 Ford , the long marker lights on the top of front guards are unique to this year. Looks like the RAAF used these Fords. Or could it be a visiting army vehicle ? The number is partly visible ?15?25

Default Script MB
The 'Follow Me' jeep is a early script Willys MB that has been retrofitted with the trailer socket. My early MB had the same mod done.

Default U registration
Could this be a G-506 Chevy bomb carrier. It has a strange U prefix reg. number

Windscreen doesn't look correct ?
