But which Christmas? It must have been a REAL slow trip hauling an 11 ton tank and semi-trailer with a 85hp 6 wheel Marmon-Herrington!

Default Boomerang??

Hi Matt - now this is getting real exciting. I couldn't read the AC 222 as Tony did, but given that, and the fact it is a Chevrolet wheel, more or less confirms it is Boomerang. Now cast your mind back to your younger days, did you see Boomerang painted on the side? I would love to see some images of what is left and the burial site. If you can, grab anything that may belong to her. I would certainly treasure the bits. BTW 17 out of the 18 were Ford based with Boomerang being the only Chevrolet based.

EXCITING!!

Bob

Default Boomerang

Hi all - a couple of wartime images of Boomerang. In the second image she is the first one.

Great pics Matt & Bob, thanks.

They do look a bit Heath Robinson like, don´t they?

Default Bit Confused

Hi Matt - what with all this excitement about your image, Colin's breathtaking pace with Phoenix and pending Corowa, I merged the thoughts of your image of Boomerang with your buried Armoured Car. Of course we don't which car is buried unless you happen to find Chevrolet wheels. So over to you to identify the car.

Hi Hanno - yes great images. However I am still searching for images of Cockatoo, Stingray, Snake, Dingo, Bandicoot, Pelican, Wolf, Wattle and Warpath.

Bob
