G'Day all
For some time now I have been inquiring about a van not far from us.The van is aluminium about 13 feet long with a port hole and the name on it says Lincraft Brisbane. Does anyone know anything about these vans? The outcome so far is that it is being used for storage and they are not ready to part with it. But the lady did give me a phone number of a person she said had a old van also. Making a call on Friday night concluded that this mans' mother had a van. I arranged to meet next morning at his mum's place. From the road I could see an old Viscount van in the carport. I was a bit disappointed as this van is too modern. While waiting for the son to arrive I started talking to his mum. This lady will be 100 years old next month. I asked if there was just one van. She said that there is a van in the shed, but that it was no good to anyone. Well she was right, there was a van in the shed, but she was wrong about it being no good to anyone. This van was built by her husband in the 1950's from plywood, then later cladded in aluminium. It has a canvas over ply roof and length is 10 foot 11inches. It appears to be a poverty pack with no sink or icebox. This van is in extremely good condition being 50 years old. Well, I offered 1 big bill and it was accepted. Photos follow.
