Hello Hanno,
hope this is better from an archiving point of view!
Maple_Leaf_eh: Thank you very much for your sentiments! Besides the obvious charms of owning a Military vehicle, something a bit different from the usual, i also like the idea of helping to preserve something evocative of a very different time and place. and you're right its amazing how many CMPs floating around in Australia, that just don't get much love.
Mike Kelly: Yes I recall chatting to you on HMVF, that parts manual would be a very nice thing if one day you decide to part with it. There was allegedly one floating around at Corowa this year but it changed hands before i got the chance to get it.
Cheers
Chris Collins
