Lightbulb Re Quad Ant FAT

This location was indeed for the scotches and I seem to recall there being a light cable to keep them from being lost.
The Ant at Melbourne Tank Museum was donated by my fathers Uncle, Alec Jamieson of Corowa N.S.W. He and my grandfather worked on the construction of Tocumwal airfield during the war. After the war they bought lots of brengun carriers, stuart tanks and blitzes to use as tractors and earth moving equipment. They were not too successful but they were the only machinery not used up in Australia after hostilities finished.
The attached pic shows him in makeshift crane. His place was an adventure playground for us kids in our youth.
