Default Len Watkin's FGT 7A1



Peter Morgan took this pic back in the mid 1990s. Has anyone photographed it since? A cab 12 based FGT is a pretty rare beast in Australia.

Default Ex-Mid East?

I bet it's a former AIF, Mid-East issue brought back.

Default Indeed.

Hi David
Yes, you're probably correct. It seems they were relegated to training here - there are pictures on the AWM database showing them at Kairi on the Atherton Tablelands and I also have seen some motion images of them at an unknown location in an exercise. The Guy Quad Ants were used in the same way.

Default S/M..

S/M 2020 or more likely 2028 but the only known 2028 C-GT I have data on was built November 1941. I wonder what the build plate says/said?

I was hoping someone closer to Sydney might know it's current status. I last saw it in 1998.
