found in the NAA archives.... 1950s
Some kind of servicing vehicle with Commonwealth reg. plate Think I can read TECALEMIT on the drums ? They are a fairly rare machine here in OZ , you see the odd one in a old saw mill, usually in a horrid state . A former VMVC member was restoring one in the late 70's early 1980's , down on the Bellarine peninsula - Don't know what became of it or him . I had a Parts list for a FWD HAR cargo truck , sold it to a chap in Tassie who has one of the trucks - Near Deloraine . Glen's truck is a beauty - odd colour scheme though , gloss orangy yellow . Mike The FWD I came across near Deloraine in Tassie - I clearly recall it had a Allied Works Council (AWC) reg. plate on the side of the cab , the chap had some unusual stuff including the remains of a U.K. built carrier and other rare vehicles including the ex-Clemons WD Thornycroft 6X4 workshop truck and a Cletrac high speed airfield tractor, a military EH Mack. Don't know what became of it all, it was over thirty years ago !

I looked at the photo first before reading your message, and immediately recognised the lubrication unit as a Tecalamit. It looks identical to the ones used by the British Army and mounted on a trailer with canvas curtains on the side of the roof. The unit would have a stationary engine driving an air compressor to work the pumps. I recall working on one these many years ago.

At least two more were in service- looking different to the other one.
