Tankers at Truscott Airfeild
Hi
I'm interested to know more about this type of tanker (I assume that it is a petrol tanker). It would appear to be on a Chevrolet chassis. Were these of a type issued to the RAAF and was the tank made here in Australia. PS These photos come from another website and I have only used them for the purposes of illustration. Regards Matt Lombard |

700gal petrol Tankers built here in Oz on Chevrolet 3 ton chassis. Photos from the AWM. They were also built on Ford chassis and maybe, but not sure, other 3 ton chassis as well
first 2 are of a 1/35 scale model I did some years ago

Tanker
Hi Cliff
Thank you for the photos much appreciated the rear of the tank appears to be flat, where as those built in Britain had a convex rear end. I take it that these were a bulk tanker and therefore not meant to pump themselves and were either gravity discharged or pumped out. Regards Matt |
