Default Wrecking equipment

I have seen similar wrecking-equipment some time ago on a military base here in the Netherlands and I have also seen similar equipment fitted to a CMP that used to belong to Dirk LeegwaterAllthough this lookes out of place on a FGT, it might just be a nice accessory for a F15a or C15A.
Thanks for the post, Alex.
No, I don't have any information on the jib, other than it was manually operated. It reminds me of a picture in an issue of Wheels and Tracks of Australian built C60S light suburban wreckers with, from memory, similar cranes although they may have been larger.
Because this truck was demobbed in the mid-1960s it's unlikely to be of WW2 vintage, but you never know.
In any event I'll be keeping it and am planning to mount it on another truck, such as one of the F15s Euan and I have.
