And then there are the USA trucks purchased by the RAAF second hand in the states to carry the mobile radar set up for 114 MRCU.
The trucks with the radar units ended up at Butterworth. They were all repainted a dark green colour and the paint job was really great if the paint on my car was that good I would be happy. Cannot recall what series they were but I remember my old SGT being sent to the USA to pick out the ones we would take and to buy parts to back them up. They were perhaps disposed there as they were LHD there would have not been much market for them in 1969. If I recall they were 6 x 6 but cannot recall the type. Anyone know what they were Regards Col

Alex,
I think I was pretty specific about it being the truck's designation, rather than the manufacturer's model number. Call it what you like - designation, nomenclature, whatever - the point is the 'Truck, Heavy, Tipper' (the use of which was defined as a 'bulk load carrying vehicle with the ability to self-unload') built on an FWD HAR-1 was, as far as I know, unique to the RAAF. That was the point of the comments I made about the image posted. Keep the beer cold: planning to make it that far east in 2014. Mike C

Three Spitfires VC at Italy (Canne) and a CMP at the background. C-60L ?
SOURCE: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205209399 One interesting point to me (after the C-60L at the back!) is that the third spit far from the camera is the no. JK226 which was transferred from the RAF to RHAF (Greek Air Force) around 1946. Spitfire VC JK226 3rd_ITALY Canne_from RAF to RHAF 25-11-1946.jpg
