What ever happened to the Blitz?
« on: June 20, 2021, 07:48:28 PM »
Does anyone here remember seeing the Blitz truck at the Birdsville Working museum? We used to own it and it was set up as a bush fire unit, the "Warraderry" on the door is the local area that l live and run a farm at near Grenfell, and l have many memories of driving it around the farm. Apparently all the museum items have been auctioned off and l was wondering if anyone knows of where it went to or where it could be now.

Thanks, Trevor

They were such a workhorse, used for so many purposes. Looking up the YouTube clip now.
