  7. With a 200km radius for the FE and 300 km radius for the FL it should be a winner in almost all city type operations Even in Australia's sprawling cities it should be a goer I hope this goes well for Mack and they are sold out here Paul

  15. Something to remember is different parts of the world had different air brake requirements to Australia I dont think they will be a lot different but ? The UK and at a guess Europe as well had three air lines going to their trailers, not sure what the third air line did, have asked before but never had a good answer So some extra things to think about, Swishmans picture should be a good start Paul

  22. Kenworth had adds back in the 70's for their mid size trucks that went something like "Most mid size trucks are lightweights built up, at Kenworth we heavy heavyweights built down" Those Dodge Big Horns look like a lightweight built up job to me Paul
  23. PICTURES IN HISTORY 🌍 The crew of the 'USS Stickleback' didn’t expect things to end this way—rising from the depths on 28 May,1958, only to be broadsided by the hull of a friendly American destroyer, the 'USS Silverstein'. The Stickleback sank to the bottom, an 11,000-foot journey to nowhere. Now, 62 years since the sub disappeared from any radar screen—and became one of only four U.S. Navy submarines lost since the end of World War II—it’s been found again. The sub—named for a spiny, scaleless fish native to many northern waters—was found off the coast of Oahu, Hawai’i, by the Lost 52 Project, an independent initiative to find the 52 American submarine wrecks from the World War II era. The great depth of the wreck (over two miles beneath the surface), and the fact that its precise resting place was unknown, allowed the submarine to elude discovery until now. The project found the sub by cross-referencing old records with modern sonar technology and remote submersibles, which eventually located the ship split in two at the bottom of the sea. The Stickleback’s sinking could have been far worse. It occurred in 1958, after the sub had come out of decommission—ship retirement—to serve in the Korean War. A training exercise gone awry had caused it to plummet through the depths; when the sub managed to resurface, it found itself in the path of the Silverstein. A collision was unavoidable, yet no one was hurt, and the Stickleback’s crew scrambled onto the friendly destroyer before the sub foundered and slipped below the waves, this time for good.
