Centurion on the move

Eric Szalanda · #1 20-12-10, 07:36

The other day I saw a Centurion on a low loader heading east through my town (Stratford, East Gippsland) and I was wondering where it was going. It couldn't have gone too far further, as I saw the truck heading back towards Melbourne the next day.

There was talk on another forum recently. Someone in Gippsland was after one and soon after stated they had purchased one. I think this may be the one you saw. No connnections myself, just trawling forums.

That would have been an Army one I would guess, I don't think there are any M113's in private hands in Australia? Even the John Belfield one was sold back to the Army museum at Pucka. Or is there? Were the FSV variants sold off to private buyers?

Funny thing, I had a dream that a Cent was comng to Gippsland a few weeks ago. I told the cook about my dream and she said "What again!" as these dreams have happened before and have come true.

My brother saw this one in Traralgon and rang and asked me if I knew anything. My answer was my dream and that it was going to Sarsfield or Swiftscreek.
Well, guess what, I had an unexpected trip to Swiftscreek last Friday and there in a farm paddock was the Cent.
I never had time to stop but did find out who has purchased it. I rang my brother and he then asked if I had the Tattslotto numbers for next Saturday. He rekons I'm a bit psychic I guess.

Ryan it was in Aus army Camo colours but didnt appear to have any of the current use modifications unless it was a mortar carrier

the truck it was on was also not an army one it had a cartage sign on the sign with a couple of phone numbers so its either heading for a refit at Pucka from either darwin or somewhere over west or some lucky clever git has one in private hands some how ??

Weird, I'll have the tatts numbers for the new years eve draw thanks.
I had a dream last night that the government was testing a nuclear bomb in geelong to see the effects. Everyone wasn't dead, just pissed off. We all took shelter in the gutters along the street and had to brush ourselves off as we were covered in leaves. The cars driving along the roads just had to slow down because of all the dust in the air. We were all sick of it as it wasn't the first time.

Ah, thread hijacked. Sorry Eric.
