Richard Farrant Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I thought this was the same DC3 bus that I came across in 1992, a photo attached, but not so sure if it is the same one now I compare it. I was on the Variety Club Bash as a member of the REME team taking part. The DC3 in my photo was entered in the rally by members of the Royal Australian Navy. We travelled from Sydney across to Alice Springs and Ayers Rock, mostly on bush tracks and stony desert. Needless to say, the DC3 always lumbered in to the overnight stops well after all the others. It was built on an old Chevrolet truck chassis and the drivers position was what you might call quaint and dashboard was a bit of board with random gauges and switches, looked like an after thought. Brings back good memories when I searched out the photo. regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 If it is the same vehicle (and not sure it is as rear wheel arch is in a different position), they have improved it since I saw it 22 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
