Hi
There is a pic of a cab 12 portee on page 146 , in The history of Holden book by Norm Darwin . Looks like a pic taken at GMH plant somewhere. Not sure if this vehicle was ex ME ? Anyway, years ago I met a chap who was a driver in the AIF, he was a ham radio operator too. We chatted about vehicles and he said among many things, he drove 2 pounder portees from GMH Fishermeans bend up to Puckapunyal . His parents house was in Falkner and he stopped at home to show off the truck to everyone . He was in the ME and mentioned he rode captured ALCI ( pronounced AL CHEE ) or similar Italian motorbikes , he said he loved them . I had my copy of observers book with me . Nice old bloke he was Mike
