Arrival
Northern Star (Lismore, NSW : 1876 - 1954), Friday 22 June 1945, page 6
IMPORT TRUCK PRICES NOT YET DISCLOSED
CANBERRA, Thursday.—Essential users of imported utility trucks released by the Government had not yet been told the price of their vehicles, the Minister of Trade and Customs (Senator Keane) admitted in a statement released in the House of Representatives by the Acting Prime Minister (Mr. Chifley). *
He said the United Kingdum had failed to notify the Australian Government of the selling cost; of vehicles. "To ihe present 798 vehicles have arrived," he said, ''and of these 182 have been released to Government authorities and other essential users. Of the remaining 638, a quantity of 192 is held by distributors and the balance of 426 is held in store for the Commonwealth Government."
If 798 tillies did arrive. Where are they all ? Even if the survival rate is 25 % , there should be many more of them around
