Ahh crap. I would've bought that. Bloody forgetful brain. Think happy thoughts.

It's a bit of a long story but ours were made into cranes or sold off after the war as bare chassis. Because of misunderstandings about weight capacities the body we designed (in two versions) wound up being too heavy for the front axle and also because an alternative in the form of the Staghound became available some of the chassis which were delivered were converted to electric mobile cranes by Metropolitan Gas in Fitzroy, Melbourne while others were converted once disposed of into more conventional cranes (like this one was) and weird things such as street sweepers. The first shipment of chassis was sunk en route to Australia.

This late production F60L had obviously been involved in some rough stuff, the nature of which isn't entirely clear but looks to have involved a roll-over.

I realised the format of the first album I made doesn't allow for pic linking so here's Ryan

Thanks Keith.

How about this?

Forgive me if this has all been covered, no doubt it has.

Ours have an interesting history as well Keith,
Originally intended as a lightly armoured observation vehicle, I don't think any saw active service in WWII.
A few (how many Lynn/Rob?) went to Korea as Gun tractors.

Post war the armour was removed and the majority were tuned into off road fire fighting units. I think more survive in this guise than as original units.

The hulls were placed into a river as part of the river retention scheme.
At least 2 hulls have since been removed from the river.

I got to drool over Waiouru Museums one last year;
