Why are they selling the army fleet?

Nwhat I am saying is Mack didnot have a Factory option of Airbags. These were an aftermarket retro fit. How doI know, I did alot of the warranty work when the ADF took delivery of all the mentioned vehichles.

So all this kerfuffle over my bad when I said "Hendrickson" instead of "camel back" rear suspension. The point was the thing on the roof wasn't a spare spring pack and the rears had air bags.

Geez we go off at tangents sometimes don't we? :o

All is good in the end though, because I now know that the standard Oz spec Macks had camel backs and sometimes they had other camels stenciled on the doors! :)

Now for another tangent, did they look like they were dragging their bums when they had the original suspension or only after the retrofit with the air bag suspension?

I thought they always looked abit down in the dumps, they didn't seem to change much with no load or full load:)

I'm pretty sure it's ADF not NSW. I don't think you will find a 'State' registered Defence vehicle.

Except the ADF number plates are very obviously green and off-white, that's most definitely black and white.
Pic is too small but it also looks to have NSW on it.
Add to that, the ADF plates were never in that style ;)

Definitely ADF. DM, you need glasses.

The NSW RMS were doing reprints of the ADF plates for the in-service Army vehicles. At least they were doing it for the SME vehicles, but wouldn't do the museum vehicles because they weren't registered.

Perhaps this is one of those??

More like super vision, even enhanced and magnified I can't tell what is written on it.
But I'd put money on the fact that it's not the ADF plate colours.
Perhaps it's one of the ones Diana mentioned.
