In the background

[Tony Smith]

While not necessarily in the background of a photo, this is in the background of a tragic story in our Corona Virus times. A recent story was published on the Sydney Morning Herald's site (you can read it here: https://www.smh.com.au/national/fare...03-p55rx6.html) that featured a pic of a New Zealand Army F30 during CMT days in the 50's or 60's. Good clear pics of the NZ F30 are few and far between, so enjoy.

What a tragic story, thanks for sharing it Tony.

Hi Rick,
That photo must have been taken from 1951 onwards, due to the Austin Loadstar parked beside it.

I like the old style sign writing on the Chev and also the buildings....a pity you don't see that too often anymore these days.

I don't think that the C15 in Rick's post #710 is a C15A. It looks to be riding too low, particularly at the front. My first thought was that the front LH wheel was in a bit of a dip but that would have proportionally lifted the rear RH corner which hasn't happened. I can't make out enough detail of the hub but could convince myself that the webs of the non-driven hub are visible (just !).

I'm with you, David. My mistake, it is a C15 4x2. I had to blow up the photo to see the webs on the front hub. Thanks.
