I did another 100 miles in the blitz over the weekend and thankfully it stayed quiet. I could hear all the other wines and rattles . On saturday I drove in the festival of the falling leaf parade in Tumut. I left the blitz in Tumut over night then went on a club run and BBQ today, it was a great weekend and the boys took it in turns to freeze beside me.
I now have to find time to go back to Tumut and see if I can have a long chat to a vetrin who saw me parking the blitz for its overnight stay and wandered over the road and said I used to drive these in the islands after the Japs surrendered, he then got called home. He was watching for me to return this morning and came back across with a black and white photo about 3"x 2" and we talked for about half an hour, it has wet my apitite and I plan to go back with a camera and pen and paper to see how much he is prepared to share. If it wasen't for the blitz I would not have met this man and he is only across the street and one house up from my brother in law.
