    Starting with some slightly unusual machines ... I will post more pics as time allows 032.JPG 130.JPG 033.JPG 051.JPG 131.JPG 135.JPG 132.JPG 134.JPG Last week I saw what looked to be the bare ch***is of one of these bren-gun carriers on the back of a truck, heading towards Melbourne from western Victoria.
     
  2. Those Ford Blitz trucks allways ended up working out in the bush at the small Victorian saw-mills. Same for the Bren-Gun carrier.

  3. A Bren carrier would be perfect for Melbourne traffic.
