I know of a bloke down here that uses one on his farm. I've got a photo of it somewhere. I'll haev to have a look. Not ex aus, but nice all the same, possibly ex tim vibert?

I take it that you want to go fishing?

TLC's are at moment waiting rebuild so that they are compatible with the new container delivery system and the new M113 upgrade.



Both these photos were taken at 1 Armd Regt at Pucka when the TLC was the back bone of resupply in the Regiment.

To the best of my knowledge they weren't used in Vietnam (by air and mark 5/F1 truck) but probably in East Timor with 3/4 Cav and 5/7 RAR.

There weren't in use when I was in 2 Cav in the late 90,s we used Mack and mogs for all resupply and by that stage 1AR was also.

Thanks heaps for the info and pics Shakey.
For some reason i thought they were used in Vietnam,
not sure why i thought that,but thanks again.

Justin.

Hello Justin

Tim Vibert had one for sale some years ago - ex British and ex Rapier resup I believe.

It may be the same one that went to Tasmania.

I have an original manual for for one used by 10th light Horse here in WA.

Cheers

Phill

Dont know what happened to them.

It is amazing how ubiquitous the standard 20' shipping container has become. The Canadian Forces is going through the paperwork to specify and order 2 1/2 ton trucks with 20' container specialty offices. And a standard logistics load in AFG is a 20' container.
