Default Guy Quad

Guy Quad on a NSW farm . Note the date Feb. 1945.....long time before the war finished.
There is a running Guy Quad owned by Ian S. who is located at Temora ! Could this be the same truck ?

They were releasing British W.D. type vehicles as early as Nov. 1944 to Bush Fire brigades and essential users i.e. farmers. And, as early as Feb. 1944, the army was loaning vehicles to Bush fire Brigades.
Seems by 1944 there was no shortage of vehicles for the army, instead, they had a surplus of vehicles ! Only a couple of years earlier they were 'Impressing' vehicles from civilians who had no choice but to give up their truck - how quickly the situation changed.
