Personally I would like to see a "Year of Swords into Ploughshares" at Corowa in the future.
There are some terrific vehicles out there that are just as interesting in there present form as they were in their first incarnation. Strickland carriers come to mind, as does Howards ever so slightly modified cab 11. Recently saw a DUKW that had been converted to a potable grain silo along with a Humber One Ton also set up as a spray rig. (Got to say it was a little more presentable than that beauty at the top of the thread)

That is an excellent suggestion Richard, would certainly bring out a wide and weird collection of modified vehicles.

Default A different vehicle

Hi Guys

If we are discussing changes to ex military vehicles, here is a photo I took last week in Singapore of a different ex military vehicle. Yes I know it is not a CMP and not much altered or a WW2 vehicle, but it shows people are always looking at ways to keep ex military vehicles alive in some other line of work.

Cheers

Tony
