Abandoned Tanks at Truscott Airfield
Hi
These two tanks were I assume on a truck chassis at some point. I am wondering if anybody can tell me more about these tanks, were they for fuel (aviation fuel or standard petrol) or water, I should imagine that tanks for both were required at Truscott. Does anybody have contemporary photos of these tanks in use. PS The photo is for the purposes of illustration. Regards Matt Lombard

Nope your photo is a Canadian built vehicle
They were built in Oz and fitted to CMP C60X 6X6 and a few 6X6 Ford Marmon Herrington vehicles.

This rusty one served at Point Cook and has a number of booms added post-war.
