was hoping someone could help me here im currently gathering stuff for my latest project and was wondering if anyone might have pictures etc of ANA test trucks used in Melbourne in the fiftys i believe

may I first say wecome to both the Truck'orama Forum and Armorama the best modeling site on the net.

Back in the late 40's and early 50's I would say they used a lot of ex-RAAF equipment. Below are 3 pics of an engine testing truck from the RAAF in WW2







these photos are from the AWM data banks in Canberra, Australia and you can order higher resolution copies from there if you need them.

There is also photos of a restored engine testing truck on
www.oldcmp.net/
this truck I believe was used by the airlines after the war.

Hope this helps
Cheers and welcome again

OK two dumb questions------ What does ANA stand for????

Australian National Airline

and

Australian National Airlines engine test trucks similar to the above.

PS> Grumpy it was NOT A DUMB QUESTION. NO question ever is 'cause if you don't ask questions you will never learn anything new. Also I am assuming the post meant ENGINE test trucks!

Thanks Cliff....I learn something new everyday..... :-) :-) :-)
