I'm taking a wild guess here but would it be on page 8 of the actual printed SMH paper.

definitely here in the hard copy smh :D

(are some people too mean to buy the actual paper?)

Yep but us Mexicans don't have that do we :angel:

As the Scotsman said to the editor of the Times.

" If you do not refrain from publishing further articles regarding the frugal nature of my fellow country men , I shall stop borrowing an edition of your paper "

Defence set to launch mega disposal sale


me thinks the part "said that would likely mean the bulk sale of vehicles would go to companies which would repair and upgrade the vehicle for resale." means choppers, planes and ships. i cant see a bulk sale of land rovers or mack trucks going to a company to rebuild them for resale it's just not a financially viable option.(for the buyer) and as for tourist mobs grabbing the ex ambos like yesteryear i dont think that will happen either, an insurance company would not provide cover.

and there's a reason I refuse to read any Murdoch publication thanks to the deliberate slant and mis-reporting of most anything, it's become the Faux news of Australia, but i digress..... :p

Actually I think that even in Mexico the SMH paper version is available. Particularly at Tullamarine and probably Flinders Street Station at least.

Just like our Huey's years ago they will probably be donated to a third world army for their defence forces,

ie New Zealand :p:p:p

I used to work with a guy at Dubbo airport who would borrow a paper, head upstairs to Flight Service and photocopy the whole lot. :o:o

Only in boutique newsagencies especially catering for the homesick Sydneysiders.
Real newsagents down these parts sell The Herald, The Age, The Australian, The Financial Review, The Weekly Times, The Australian Womens Weekly, a small selection of mens magazines and lotto tickets. Nothing else is worth buying.

I'm hoping that some of the 12,000 trucks are UniMogs.....
