Title: CG #40 - Thornycroft Hathi truck
Post by: Craig Gillingham on June 30, 2012, 11:58:55 PM
For 1 point, tell me the make and model of this truck, as well as the meaning of the model name.

There are 3 parts to the puzzle answer.

Is what appears to a date (March 19, 1932) accurate for the date of the photo?

Looks like the opening of the bridge. Probably after deGroot slashed the ribbon.

Manuel, spot on, you're right. It's the opening parade of the Sydney Harbour bridge.

Also, congratulations on becoming an Expert. If you're going to post a few puzzles, I look forward to having a go at them.

Thanks Craig.
I think I prefer solving them. I was having a ball until I was told I am now an expert.

It is a Thornycroft Hathi, which is the Hindi word for elephant.

Exactly correct. Here are a couple more photos of Hathi's in military service in Australia during the early 1930's.
