This small photo looks like it could have been taken in the Middle or Far East,combo is a Norton,truck has a drawing on its door.

Another nice picture showing the RAF sidecar. Did the RAAF use RAF numbers or was that too early, Since Southern Command RAAF was not formed till 1941.....

I think there's an airplane in the background.

Vehicle is a cut-down 12 cab CMP FAT isn't it ? Aeroplane looks like a Dakota.

Certainly Canada used RAF vehicles around airfields. Presumably Australia also did where there were RAF facilities. The Australians were known as the Commonwealth's greatest pilferers and purloiners ! :-)

Dakota's where also common here in Israel. This could be Atarot (Willhelma airport).

Isn't there a saying "Officers impress, NCOs commandeer and Other Ranks steal" ? Something like that anyway :-)

I guess the Australians were just being "economic" :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

We just re-purpose the items in question.
It saves a lot of paperwork which is good if you were an illiterate labourer.
