Default Sacriledge!

So they took a rare Australian derrick truck used by both the Army and RAAF, and 'restored' it as a GS truck ... wonder what they did with the derrick crane?

Their truck I suppose, but seems a terrible shame to have taken that path.

Default Restoration

Typical amateur restoration, take something rare and screw it up under the guise of history and heritage.

Default "RAAF History and Heritage"

This "news" has done the rounds.

Was on Chev and Ford Blitzes in Australia FB page this week.

I made similar comments to Mike on that forum.
RAAF History and Heritage was a not taken seriously in this case.

Cheers,
