Tonka toy toad!?

Cobber has it I believe. We are all sucking when we should be blowing. Here is a modern version and some early models- now to find Swishy's machine!

Once again I could be wrong but:

That power has been put to work blowing (and melting) snow for almost as long as it's been putting people in the sky. New York City got its first jet-powered snow blower for cleaning train tracks in the late 1960s. A single jet-blower could accomplish in hours what would take days for traditional plows and shovelers. Around the same time, Russians started using jet-powered trucks to clear snow-covered runways.


This one is closer.


Here is an early pommie version. The cage at the back is to save curious people being sucked in to the engine.

A lot of thought went into the design of that cab, NOT !

I thought it was a standard British truck cab of the era. It certainly looks more attractive than many of them.

As a side thought. When reading about them, an American version of the 50"s with a Sabre motor used 900 Gallons of fuel in one return trip down a long snow covered runway. As it required three return passes to clear the strip the blower was accompanied by its own fuel tanker!

I still don't know if we are going down the right track with blowers. Swishy give us a hint!

Bugger a hint. Tell us what the bloody thing is.
