Hi Robert - I must have had a feuge when I missed the image of the data plate. Thanks Keefy.

Nice choice of words. I had to look it up:

That is an odd and interesting International. Thanks Robert.

OK Bob now we need a complete history including the madin name of the first driver's mother

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #6 17-04-09, 10:54

Hi Robert - the only other manufacturing detail I have is the Carrier was made under contract no. MOV.1145. The first driver, an Army test driver, was Lance Corporal Ernest Entwhistle whilst his mother Dimitria, a Greek immigrant who married Throgmorton Entwhistle, had the maiden name of Giannopoulopouloppulus.

And let me guess... they're related to the Moseleys too.

Following Keith's reply I found that the word 'fugue' I've heard of before means the same as your 'feuge', Bob. Just glad it wasn't a 'fug' you might have been in giving you problems.

The Reo owner has a Studebaker in another shed, I haven't photographed it yet, but he bought the Reo because he was told they are a rearer truck.

That is certainly true. There were never as many Reos around as there were Studebakers. If I had to take a wild guess I would say about 1 in 10, quite likely fewer than that even.

A friend in Melbourne tells me that there are a couple of Blitzs in Elgin Street, Carlton between Rathdowne and Drummond Streets.
I have an idea they may have been mentioned on the forum. Can somebody confirm please?

I,m not sure where they could possibly be.
Try this link when it opens click (personal use) and you can have a look.

They belong to Elgin Scrap Metals. I have seen them but they wouldn't let me photograph them (this was some time ago) One of them is a Canadian C15 but it has been re-engined with a Falcon motor. They are quite rough.
