CCKW-353 Road sweeper query

[Grant Bowker]

With respect to whether a trailer mounted magnet system might have been used by the RAAF - Air Forces are sensitive to anything that might be sucked into or blown against the airplanes (Foreign Object Damage) so I find it easy to believe that a trailer mounted magnet system would be seen as a quick alternative to the practice of getting everyone out for a "FOD walk" to search for potentially damaging debris.

Hi Grant,
You're right about FOD and I agree with you the device makes sense when related to Air Forces, fitted at the front or at the rear of a vehicle. But being stubborn by nature I still cannot agree with that caption.

Meanwhile some results were achieved on the scale battlefield, nothing definitive yet:

I know it isn't 100% detail-true but this is how I see it. And some details look crude but this is the best I was able to do in 1/72 scale.
Thanks again for your answers!
