Murray Langford has sent in a wonderful batch of photos taken by Andy McNabb when he worked for the Victorian Manufacturers Bottle Co on the Darwin run. Sent to Murray by Zane Morrison, no background is known about the photos so any information as to the trucks, the companies and even the locations would be great please. Do any of the trucks still survive?
I've kept the original dimensions of the photos so you can see the original format of what are great archival items. How good would it be to see these combinations as restored vehicles? Lots of investment - yes - but what fun!
Above: An MBC Kenworth with a Foster's Lager roof sign. I'm hopeless with Kenworth models. Can anyone ID please? The B61 behind appears to have two stock crates hooked up with what looks like a water tank for the stock trailing the second trailer. Below: Sigh. Leyland bonnets! Super Hippos I reckon but definitely all MBC trucks. Any more details?
Another B61, this time a B61T I reckon, of Sydney Melb Transport. The tarp says DR & G Miller - Sydney (ring a bell with anyone?). The Kenworth with the impressive roobar has what looks like 'Cold Tap' on its headboard so must be another MBC beastie.
