Movement Un-controlled has a three tone cammo .... no, I am not going to hazard a guess as to the colours!!
The Corowa a/port images have an Erg standing on the roof to fill that whatever it is on the Beaufort. No wonder the roof is always dinged-in! I had a 11Y with a sunshine cab that went to Dinger Belfield, who finished it quite nicely. That model had 900-16 tyres and a quick diff so should have motored along well. An ex-1Div vehicle which still had some original markings. Mike

I think the Air Force description is "erk" which is a corruption of the private-equivalent rank of Aircraftsman (Ac) A RAF Slang list notes it as: Erk (or Irk) - Aircraftman (from cockney erkraft) Lang

Thanks Lang, for the correction - I'd always known it as 'erg' as that was what my father always referred to he and his fellow RAAF engines & airframes fitters' as. He was an RAAF LAC during '44-45.
He's long gone, so I can't ask him to see if it was his mispronunciation or my bad hearing as the cause of the error (probably both!) More importantly, what is that thing slung under the wing that the bloke on the roof of the ute seems to be filling? Mike

In the first Beaufort photo the tank under the wing has a large diameter tube clamped at the lower back end of it with what appears to be a nozzle at the end of it facing aft.
A similar sized tank looks to be sitting vertically in the back of the Ute. Could this be smoke screen laying equipment being prepped? David
