It's a bit of a long story but ours were made into cranes or sold off after the war as bare chassis. Because of misunderstandings about weight capacities the body we designed (in two versions) wound up being too heavy for the front axle and also because an alternative in the form of the Staghound became available some of the chassis which were delivered were converted to electric mobile cranes by Metropolitan Gas in Fitzroy, Melbourne while others were converted once disposed of into more conventional cranes (like this one was) and weird things such as street sweepers. The first shipment of chassis was sunk en route to Australia.
