Popular? Well, they're in my top 3 list of the Services!
I Intro'd Keith to this RAAF 1945 F60S, and He featured it on Oldcmp, but his site seems to be down lately so I can't link to the other full pics of the truck.
The RAAF used the same Commonwealth system as the ARN's, but the RAAF numbers are in the range 200000 to about 280000 (anyone confirm this?). If fact, the RAAF are still re-cycling the same series of numbers today for their vehicles.
Vehicle is marked horizontally above the headlight panel with "RAAF" and 203092 each side, and there is a No. Plate (actually a piece of tin) at the rear with the same info hand painted.
