Default Surplus

Its interesting that the press release compares today to the end of the WW2 era.

Not much is similar . Can you imagine a road train of surplus tanks being driven from Pucka to West Gippsland , through Melbourne . That happened just after the war, when 3 locals here bought heaps of Grants, Stuarts and Matildas . Drivers were hired and off they went along the main roads . One tank towing another . Hayward was one of the consortium , and the other two I cannot recall. They bought heaps of spares too, including NOS engines in crates.
