Default Blitz heaven

Oh yes!

What I didn't mention was it was a morning of discovery. Just south of Young there is a batch of four Chevs on a farm visible from the road, then coming into Boorowa there's an ex-RAAF Chev crane still in use and next to it the remains of two C15s, and another blitz on a hill on the way to Rugby. So if you count the chassis, there were 14 new discoveries. That doesn't happen often in one day.

Did you get a closer look at the Chevs?

Why, are you going to change camps?

The short answer is no, not enough time... the ones at Boorowa I had a brief look at, just enough to see the WO R101 on the crane... the two C15 chassis with it were wrecks and the others were on farms.
