In 1937 ... a postal jeep ... would still have been a boxy little british austin hardtop, with sliding doors ...

Good find Mudderoy ... :thumbsup:

Theres snippets of info scattered all over the net ...

Theres also a CD set ... at a rather pricy $54 ... that has the original 1950s documentary and the re-enactment run as well.

$54 .. :bang: ... no wonder so many kids down here, dont know buggerall about our short history.
