Mike,
The 3rd. photo of the White Scout Cars lined up shows the 3rd one from this end without a roller. One of our VMVC members up this way has that one. We were able to locate the ARN from another photo and cross-reference it with the chassis numbers to prove its provenance.

The photos of the FORD Semi's shows Internationals in 4 of the 6 photos.

Nice photos anyway.
Thanks, Rick

It is so rare to match a WW2 era pic with a surviving vehicle ...

The owner of that scout car now knows it was in the NT ... doing what I wonder

I was looking for lathe stuff and came across that page by chance . The web site host seems to be a rural mob of some sort with eclectic subjects listed .

Yes I spotted the K Inters

What strikes me is the condition of the roads ... the line up of scout cars pic shows a perfect road surface .... must be late WW2 period when they had loads of engineering support .

The cars are the Aust. OP version I believe ?

Mike

Thanks for posting these photo's Mike, great images. Do I see a CMP in the background of the Corrie Workshop photo (near the tree on the right hand side) ?
Regards
Keith
