I've never noticed that type before Mike. I wonder if that PU actually ended up with the Australians somehow? I'm pretty sure I've seen motorcycles that were sent to Australia but still bearing the British census numbers.
Well done on finding that antenna base. Ron |

AWA radio
This pic depicts a AWA 101 wireless set , the vehicle looks like a British PU 8cwt . The chap who took the pic didn't survive the war .

Good research mike. I guess this unit that came to the UK could have brought there own Australian wireless equipment and other more familiar kit with them?
I notice that that last PU has the antenna bracket for the normal sprung loaded base and just has the Australia base poking up through it. I'm surprised that you haven't got that base screwed to the top of your PU already. Ha Ha! Ron Last edited by Ron Pier; 29-07-14 at 08:27. |
