The AAHC has commenced a new restoration project a RAAF WW2 era Blitz Crane.

The crane is mounted on a Canadian Ford Blitz chassis.

Any images of this beast in RAAF service would be appreciated.

Have to start a vehicles page now Martin.

Nice project, useful too if the crane can be used as such.

The topic of RAAF vehicles is well covered in other groups.
A while ago we came up with a website similar to ours covering everything from trucks to Landrovers.

There is another ex-RAAF Blitz crane advertised on Gumtree if you need spares

Have already sighted the one on Gumtree, Thanks!

Do you have a link to the mentioned RAAF vehicles website?

The crane section appears to have been painted yellow any maybe the truck RAAF Blue/Grey but not sure.

Unfortunately the cost and paperwork to get it recertified under current requirements would be difficult if at all possible.
