Think I know who he is and what he is most known for? Half-safe?

Phil,
Ben Carlin was an Australian who adapted a Ford GPA amphib jeep and circumnavigated the World with it during the 1950's. First leg was across the Atlantic from North America.
Here is a photo of Half Safe at Corowa Swim-In in 1999, yours truly standing in front of it.
