Raaf ccw353
The truck with the trailer is RAAF registration number 205885. I own RAAF registration number 205805 which is a 1942 truck. I am guessing 205885 is a 1942 truck, the trailer would be a later addition, the RAAF operated 55 of the semi trailer units and 300 trucks.
They also had some as the prime mover for airfield cranes.
My data comes from Wheels and Tracks number 31.
Very interesting about the camouflage dates.
I also own the front half of a New Zealand CCW353, that is a lot later chassis number from memory.
I will have a look next time I am down the paddock.
