I thought you might be interested in this photo of 4445,
I found it in a Dulux paint brochure printed in 1983. It describes
vehicles
at Puckapunyal and says
in the caption ;
"A unique vehicle in the collection is this Willys Jeep.
It is powered by a
Rolls Royce Four !"
There are descriptions of other vehicles, and comments from
staff of the
RACT Museum, so you
would think that someone would have noticed the blue !
