We've got yet another virtual pie to give away - but earning it is going to be a bit of a challenge this time!
Check out this picture that Atki Pete emailed me. "Here is an Aussie made 8x4 that might baffle your Army," says Pete. "The lack of a cab makes it a trifle harder than usual, but I am sure they are up to it."

Could this be an RFW of some sort?

Spot on Andrew, this restoration is progressing very well and I will send some more photos when it is back on the road.
Might have been an RFW or a lovely Atki but that is just me dreaming..
