So the Napier was used by the Brisbane city council after it saw service. My Great grandfather drove it for the council. It was sold off and boughtby a house removalist. So its always been in Brisbane. 

The Fiat we think never saw service and was bought new by Ryans transport of Brisbane. Was bought in the 50s and had a sign put on it for promoting a museum.

The guy who told me about it, in the late 1990's was called Herb F, not sure if he owned it at the time, its a small world!

(just noticed letters HF painted on the side, so answered my own question!)

Here is a photo of the WOT1, ex-crash tender from near Sydney, it was for sale.

regards, Richard

Yes Herb was the one who gave it to us. The one in Sydney we have driven and know the person who owns it now. Its still in Sydney.

A friend of mine owns these 2 truck. A 1912 Napier and a 1914 Fiat.

Hi,

I once met a guy from Mt. Isa in Queensland who had found one of these WOT1 airfield crash tenders, reckoned it had been left behind on a wartime airfield up that way. There is another which is restored with a flat tray body near Sydney and it was for sale, open cab same as yours.

Regards Richard 

 

 

Yes this is the truck that was found in Mt Isa. Its is now in Brisbane.
