norm79 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Hi everybody, I recently joined your forum as I have been interested in Military vehicles for many years, over the past 30 years I have been photographing both old and new vehicles, mostly Australian with a few others visiting this country on exercises, and I am also interested in British WW2 vehicles, quite a few of these turned up out here on the roads post WW2. I served with the CMF 6 Field Rgt as a gun tractor driver for six years between 1963 and 1968, when the Rgt used Studebaker US6 GS vehicles, followed by the International Mk3, a great vehicle.

Do you know anything about this? Tim Hi Tim, I would be very surprised if we had any Studebakers left, all that we had at 6 Fd were disposed of as the Mk3's arrived around 1965, a few tippers and Workshop vehicles lingered on, the last one I photographed in serivice was a GS with water tank fitted for fire duries at Fort Direction in Tasmania.
