Wireless Van C15 Australian

[Rod Salter]

Where the blitz obsession started

I had been regularly driving past a paddock with a line up of old blitz trucks on my way to and from my old farm

One random hot Sunday afternoon my wife and I called around to ask if I could have a look at the trucks

We were met at the door by 'Beryl' a lovely lady who invited us in for a drink and a cup of tea

I looked at the trucks and photographed them

One had an almost gone plate that read “Wireless”

I always wanted a van for my radios

They were not for sale as her husband had passed and her brother-in-law now owned them and he was not well

In a way, at the time, I sort of wished I had not seen the wireless chassis at all
