Ken. Niether I nor the small cotterie of WW II army radar enthusiasts I associate with via the internet, are military vehicle collectors or restorers and this might explain why we failed to notice your listing of interests at the foot of your posts. Sorry for that omission. Over the years we have been in touch with several Ozzies on the subject of WW II radar,many of whom were contributors to this forum. You are the first to have possesion of a chassis or partial trailer which could be identified as belonging to the APF unit of the GL III (c). Tony Smith ( the other Tony Smith ) has, or had, two beat up trailers from the companion unit of the GL III(c)..namely the ZPI unit. North Fort museum has a consol that was donated by Dave Prince.
One of my associates was on deployment to OZ during the war as part of the Canadian Technical contingent shipped over to provide tech knowhow and to carry out tropicalisation on the 83 GL III(c) convoys purchased by your military in 1943.
I have asked my colleague in Canada to get in touch with you...he worked on these babies as a master technician in the RCEME..
