I can recall back in the late 70's when I was working for Co. here at EN whom had the contract to make the N24's into serachmaster A/C. Long range tanks & the ugly bulbuss nose for the radar. Back then when they where new the scuttle butt around for those working on them said you only need a pair of tin snips & some fencing wire to fix these 'cause they are built typical Aussie style, rough & ready
The seats at the time looked like they came off someones sun deck
Obviously a good A/c to some, will be evry interesting to see if Gippy's get them off the grnd again, good luck to them if they do.
