I remember that the big old 6 wheel Austin Gantry lorries had engines so quiet that you couldn't hear that they were running. The Trucks were buried so far as I was told, although I wasn't at Maralinga but loads of poms were and I used to meet up with them because they had more access to the the RAF/RAAF flights back to England. So one of them bought my bike back with him that my mum delivered to Lyneham together with some warm clothing because the Australian winter was closing in. SO that'll be the pom Summer/Aust winter of 68 I should think.
I had a perk trip home on a RNZAF Herc that was bringing a new lifeboat to replace one lost by a rescue ship on the Wahine rescue

Drove 650 km today looking for a barrel. It's the last time I'm doing that. Each place said they had them, but when I got there. Nothing!!! So if anyone knows of any leads.

Have you tried Kingaroy Firearms Co or Brian Labudda who has a Secondhand shop[I think] also in Kingaroy.

I will give them a call. Thanks

Any luck so far? I have a tired two-groove tube which might suit. Just came to me the other day. It has a groove around the bore about half an inch back from the muzzle. Any good for what you want?
Cheers,
Matt
