Default Ron Fry Military Machinery Collection on TV

Hello All,

I was channel surfing a little while ago and on 4Me Tv they had a show called Man and Machinery TV and it featured an episode about Ron Fry's Military Machinery Collection www.manandmachinetv.com.au The episode is part of a TV Series Man and Machine is the creation of television presenter and passionate car enthusiast Glenn Everitt.

There was also an article written about Ron Fry in 2011 and it states that, "Ron spent many years as a senior corporal in the Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RAEME), the corps of the Army responsible for maintaining and recovering all land electrical and mechanical equipment."

The show has a walk through Fry's paddock and shows various Ford and Chevrolet trucks including CMP and MCP and tanks including an operational Stuart tank and hulk of a Matilda tank, plus some Bren Gun Carriers.

I cannot say what the name of the episode was as the site does not have a very user-friendly episode list. It does show the dates of the episodes and episode number however it does not name the episode or open them up. Maybe it will allow the program to be opened up and be seen in a couple of weeks after it screened?

So it was screened on 4me http://www.4me.net.au/categories/auto/man-and-machine

Kind Regards
Lionel
