I'd be interested in seeing any pics of this vehicle type, in use outside of Australia - I've never seen any

From what I understand, many wireless installations were AD HOC in nature . The crews were given license to arrange things to suit themselves .

BTW some of these were still in use with CMF units into the late 1950's early 60's era .

The army did the comms for the 56 Melbourne Olympic games , and during the marathon race, they had one of these trucks following the runners .
