Lynx scout cars ?

This one is a Ford ute with the separate cab. Quite a few of the pics show the vehicles with the 9th Div. sign and a unit number.

Default More AIF

A crowd in the back of a AIF ute . Italian equipment . A ham radio friend who was a M.E. veteran told me he loved riding the Italian ALCE motorbikes.

Ford ute body turned upside down makes the ideal table.

Think the three trucks lined up are GMC..... better engine than the Chev 216.

Mushroom collecting with the Chev. staff car.
