Restoration of Aussie jeep trailer

[Mike Cecil]

Hi Tony,

Glad my replies to jeep No3 trailer queries have been consistent!!

Yes, making the treck across the Atlantic Pond: much closer (and more economical) flying from the USA.

So the conclusion from that discussion Tony and Mike is that this serial number may have been stamped into the axle post war for a road rego???

Thank you all for the usefull information you have posted.
It appears that the drawbar has been reversed at some time and that explains the "u" shaped bracket and the remains of welding should be on the lower side.
I was away at the weekend and came home with cutting wheels,welding rods, steel plate and a new set of oxy welding hoses.
I will keep taking photos and with the help of Tony to put then up untill I jearn how to do it

Hey everybody!

Considerable process has been made with the restoration of this trailer. Here are some photos of the progress made.

Here's some more photos thanks to Toby Baillie. I will add details, hopefully tonight.

Hard to see what the Unit sign was, except the background colour appears to have been light blue, so it was an engineer unit. But as for the two figures....????

Most of the serious welding was done today by a friend using his MIG.
i did some more rubing arrount the LHR corner . there are the remains of 2 signs. one looks like a round top tree ( not a palm tree) over a boo9merang. the other i can only pick out thr boomerang.
will keep looking.
