In 1983 the Albion was used in the first big Australian TV production, a 10 hour story called “The ANZACS” here it is on set in a ‘French village’.

So where is she today, On loan to the Bandiana Military Museum where it has been for a number of years. She was on display at the Australian War Memorial for 3 ½ years before going to Bandiana.

We often get her out for a run and will see her for a belated birthday drink in a couple of weeks.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY 361A”

PS.. 361A was used to promote the then new Unimog on their acceptance into the Australian Army all those years ago.
