Aussie CMP Mystery
Hi to all from OZ:
Any idea what this HUP-like HUW wireless is? Sent to me by a guy in Ottawa, from a guy in BC, from a guy in Oz. They think it's Air Force. I'm not sure. Markings on drivers door are illegible so anyone have any ideas? TIA Don

Picture is vaguely familiar
The picture of the HUP is vaguely familiar, thought I’d seen it in the Australian War Memorial Archives http://www.awm.gov.au/ but I have not founded it yet. But maybe some of radio types could narrow the search by identifying type of area and frequency range. For some reason I’m thinking that it is aircraft radio frequency.
Correct my memory not many HUPs in Australia, but definitely used by Australian Forces in other theaters of war. Thought your photo was related to this one but no aerial http://cas.awm.gov.au/item/SUK11997 Cheers Phil

Interesting
The tree does look like a Eucalypt of some kind ... the antenna appears to be a top loaded vertical. The capacity hat ( the radials) on the top are there to make the antenna radiate more ground wave e.g., sideways than sky wave .
Looks like a faint RAAF on the door .... HU vehicles are very rare here ... I know of less than 5 . MIKE

Mysteries
I love a good mystery. Looking at the pic I notice the absence of an Australian ARN on the front shell. I'm not convinced about the 'eucalyptus' either.
The fact the pic was originally sent from Australia doesn't necessarily mean it was taken here of course.

Hoons..
Quote:
Can't be taken in Australia..there would be a herd of hoons in the picture... CMP drivers in Canada... For the non Australia speakers.... Translation.. The term "hoon" has obtained a semi-official use in Australia, with police and Governments referring to legislation targeting anti-social driving activity as "anti-hoon laws". The term has even begun to appear in the titles of legislation, for example the Transport Legislation Amendment (Hoon Boating and Other Amendments) Act 2009 of the State of Victoria.

ahhhemmm! Back to the serious topic of this thread (boring little F**t, eh?)....
Have to agree with Keef about the HU's location being somewhere other than Oz. While I don't discount that the vehicle may be in use somewhere with the RAAF (though I can't read the letters on the door...), the following points might be considered in arriving at a common understanding about the 'who what which where' of this image: (1) there are no HUWs, HUPS, HUAs or any form of HU on the RAAF's vehicle register. (At least none that I've found, anyway, and I have a pretty good handle on such things, I think) (2) the RAAF were assigned vehicles from other sources while overseas that didn't make the register (those few that came back to Oz with RAAF units did), and sported 'RAAF' on the doors to identify them while in temporary RAAF service. This may be the case here. (3) The tree doesn't look like a Eucy to me. (4) there is only one headlamp: Aust CMPs were all equipped with two Head lamps in Oz: those that arrived with one, were retrofitted as a service requirement. Leads me to conclude that whoever the hoon is that's in charge of this 'Ute', he ain't Downunder (unless you mean down under the truck trying to fix the wretched thing ... it is a Chev after all.)

Where ever it is taken it has no Australian identifiable shrubbery. Gum trees do not lose their leaves nor have horizontal leaf growth.
There were a lot of RAAF units in UK and Europe (as opposed to RAAF personnel posted to mixed units) and it might belong to one of them.
