THanks for that, I'll add it to REMLR
Now you really do need to get your REMLR application in. Another rego in the 101 list is nice. I hope we can get them all in time as there are so few of them.
Well, as I'm getting ready for Cooma. I have the need to pull out my 101 manuals and the papers concerning this vehicle.
I'm lucky as I have the service logs the pre disposal report and the Vehicle Identification Sheet.
So I thought I should put this info up for public consumption.

Hi there
Has anyone seen a Scottorn Bushmaster powered trailer in Australia in recent years?
I am sorry for not speaking up earlier - but its the first time I have visited this section:
but YES - and it was sold to a UK buyer - I personally seen the vehicle as it was owned by "Noel Fullerton" of Quorn SA . He has now retired but he used the vehcile in the NT as he ran camel tours (it was painted in black & white stripes)
It was strange as I was speaking with Noel last weekend, he is one of those guys whom kept me captivated for hours with his discussions and pictures.
I know the drill I will get pictures.......................................... ..............ASAP
Just for interest sakes he is now restoring a forward control Jeep (van type body). This vehicle is a unique machine with fibre glass roof top with opening observation in terrets in the roof - he claims it was a military machine.
Well all the best

Your comment about the Scottorn Bushmaster powered trailer and mentioning the vehicle.
Is that the 1 ton normal control Land Rover or a 101 that you were talking about?
The reason I asked, is yes I did see the vehicle of my interest in Alice Springs in 1982, but the owners didn't know about the trailer. Very spooky!

Hi there Diana
I am fairly sure it was a 101 - but will get pictures/scan and post.
I spoke with Noel - and will call in and see him on Sunday (with laptop & scanner) - but this is the vehicle I had seen at my place but painted in black and white stripes pattern : Land Rover Army Forward Control 101 Prototype
It was sold to a guys whom came out from the UK - and taken back to the UK. One interesting thing he mentioned was that his vehicle had the same series number as the one in the USA?
All the best

That's O.K. I think that the only powered trailers brought in for the 101's were Rubery Owens*
The only Scottorn Bushmaster powered trailer that I am aware of, arrived in 1973 as a private import (originally in-transit) coupled to a LHD Land Rover 1 Ton.

* if you are interested:
Rubery Owens & Kelmsley = ROK is a UK conglomerate with an australian division.
later to become
Rubery Owens Holdings = ROH in South Australia
The same number deal rings a bell with some 101 info I got. There was a ringer that appeared in the US with the same chassis number, but this one is the real deal.

I was at Cooma today and talking with one of the 101 owners. He has had his from the time they were released and was at the auction in SA (where he bought his) and possibly at the Sydney auction.
He said that at the SA auction there were 56 101s lined up for sale. He said he recorded each of their chassis numbers, mileage and some other details. With the six that were sold in Sydney this makes 62 Australian 101s plus the ones wrecked in service - didn't one have a major prang in NT and another was used for air drop training purposes and also written off. So numbers may have been as high as 64/65.
Of interest (to me in particular being ex Navy) he said there were two Navy 101s. Me knowing all - I disputed that but he said these were sold from NSC Zetland in Sydney and they were not drab olive in colour - he said they were the standard Navy Sky Blue colour with other parts painted black with writing of some type on the sides of the vehicles.
This guy did not know about REMLR or AULRO so I have asked him to come on the forum and contact you - he may have information that may be of interest. He seemed surprised to find out the REMLR had the chassis numbers etc and no ARNs
So hopefully he will contact you.
Cheers
Garry
