A quick question was the yellow paint a speical order? cheers Brendon.
    Isn't that the same code as the Game?

    I would suspect it was a special order, however Dept of Civil Aviation used to have bright yellow Land Rovers for going out to service the various beacons.

    So if it was a DCA order they may have just used the Game colour. - Brian will know.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Well, I finally got it home today
    It was apparently "out at the airport" in its previous life.
    It also looks to have the holes for the gardening tools on its wings
    Will know more tomorrow when I have a proper "go over" and report back.

    P.S. Got 3 big boxes of parts with it too, most NOS and new bash plates, a fairey overdrive and lord knows what else yet.

    I'm a happy camper

    Ohhh overdrive, you are indeed lucky. See, like the old proverb says. He who spreads good cheer and banana trees gets karmic rewards

    The Bureau of Mineral Resources had yellow paint like that and the brush bar, light protectors and garden tools, lots had a tropical roof too. It looks a lot like the mil Series 3 bar but I think thinner depth wise, the 2A bar had an upright where the S3 headlight would go. Is there a left hand tank?

    Slightly off topic,there was a lady who worked at the landscape/garden supplies on Kingston rd at Loganlea,who had a game,original & in very good condition.
