Interesting Ford tender

This is one of a number of interesting images I was loaned recently from the Department of Civil Aviation archives.
From what I can gather it was taken in the 1950s at Essendon Airport in Melbourne, along with a number of other CMPs some in very original configurations.

C60S tipper

This C60s tipper is a handsome portrait, and apart from a few dents was still very original.

This F30 Ford ambulance is likewise original and in excellent nick.

There are a lot more images over these pages, like this one of a Dodge Command Car.

This is the old DCA logo as seen on those vehicles . Who would have guessed they used a 1/2 Ton Command car ! Essendon airport looks rather different now .
