First time on this and about time I got started . My name is Geoff , live in Brisbane and collect one off odd bits of gear . My Father was a Fifth engineer with the Dutch Merchant Marine during WW2 , 39 to 45 . Hence the name . Lots of stories their . Anyway for you guys wondering where the Alvis Juggernaut is going , sold in the recent auction at Melsham. I bought it to go in my collection which I am setting up at Esk , two hours west of Brisbane . My business is involved with Aviation Ground Equipment in Australia and surrounding Pacific Islands . Also have a variety of WW2 vehicles , partial to CMP versions . The Juggernaut will be restored in the not to distant future . Would like a colour photo of it and maybe some history . It is an interesting vehicle . I also own Hunter FR74s , G-BABM and a Mig 21 which will be brought up to ground running stage .
Have a few stories from Spitfires to White Scout cars to share with you as we go along . The Juggernaut is on its way to Oz .
I did bid on other vehicles in the auction but was not successful . I am hearing to the U.S. In August to pack my 1917 Holt Artillery Tractor along with some other bits and pieces . Looking for limber and gun to go with it .
Cheers All ,
Geoff .
