Mike C and Mike K you both know someone who used to drive these FWD's as tippers.
Alan Newton, one of the founding fathers of the Corowa Swim-In, was with the RAAF at East Sale in Victoria and drove the FWD HAR-1 Truck, Heavy, Tipper, during his time there. He has a few stories to tell about them.
I have one of these trucks, just a cab chassis without the tipper and a cab off another. Both cabs have markings from their RAAF days. They were/are a sandy colour with a black chassis.
Regards Rick.
