Default A bit of levity...

Hi

A few comedic vignettes. I particularly liked the RAF one.

Default I have only one problem with YouTube from MLU

Hi All

I have a strange problem watching YouTube videos links from MLU on my tablet. For some strange reason they stick and become my YouTube home screen, meaning any time I open YouTube there it is again. Doesn't seem to happen clicking on links from other websites.

Not a bad problem, because most of the video links posted on MLU are pretty good.

Problem doesn't happen with my desk computer, but yes the last MLU link comes up there.

Cheers Phil

Default Steyr 1500A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg7jDKKYnfI

There was a Steyr 1500 located at Romsey here in Victoria , it was imported from the Czech Republic some years ago. I believe the Romsey vehicle has been sold onto another owner. Not sure if the vehicle in this utube video is the same Romsey vehicle. Does anyone know ?

The Romsey vehicle needed a full rebuild , it was missing the original rear bodywork.

A series of videos of Dutch volunteer firefighters. Usually at the beginning of the video, you can see a CMP based truck in the back of the firehall.

Default Blitz Mail Run - something most of would like to try

Hi Scott

Your post of the The Bush Trucker Man in his Chevy Blitz

Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZQ1mkCvQ8c is one of those really goods ones.

The trip is one of those that I suspect most of us would love to try in our CMPs with that goes our envy for those who get to do it.

Thanks for sharing the site.

Cheers Phil

Hi Scott

That was a great post. It bought back so many good memories of the Australian Outback not many have seen. I would love to have been on that trip with the Blitz and knowing how hard those old guys did the mail run years ago. I last did the trip with a bunch of mates about 10 years ago and I did it in my Pajero. Thanks for the memories.

Cheers

Tony

Default Jeff Fullwood

I've met Jeff several times, a great bloke. First time I saw his blitz was at the 50th anniversary of the Back of Beyond in Marree where we played the movie in 2004.




I, along with a couple of collaborators made the documentary "Last Mail from Birdsville - the story of Tom Kruse" which is available as part of the Back of Beyond collection from the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
