Col Anderson Model T

[Lang]

Thank you everyone for the interest - and it is a very interesting bit of our history quickly being lost.

I will pass this on to the Kiwi's who already have a Model T ambulance beside a WW1 fighter in a life-size diarama in the museum. There are several mentions of the Kiwis helping to suppress the upitty Arabs at Siwa in patrol cars, so they seem to have had them also and probably later in Palestine as well.

They want to build a couple of the patrol cars to take part in the WW1 aircraft flying section of the Wanaka air show (when Baron von Nasty gets forced down by Sir Percy Goodfellow and the patrol cars race to capture him). Might not be as spectacular as last show when a full size V2 rocket on its launch ramp was blown to bits at the last moment by Spitfires and Mustangs only 50 metres from the crowd - a few singed eyebrows!

Best show in the Southern Hemisphere, worth a trip.

Here is what the Kiwis have already.

That's not the Wanaka Museum, it's the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre near Blenheim, the one financed by Peter Jackson..

Yes, I know it is Omaka but many of the same guys are involved in the Wanaka show and the T's would probably finish up at Omaka after they did their acting.
