Our Touring Past

The van behind my grandparents in the first photo (previous posting)is a Nomad - approx 1936 to WW2-of interest the photo (and there is a better one showing it which I hope I sent to Richard) is at Newport Beach camping area in Sydney in 1939, just a little more crowded these days!

Crikey Richard, I hope you have told Cobber abvout the 1930s Don - he'll be beside himself if you don't!! It might be the one he's looking for!! regards jeff

It was a great day indeed with plenty of interest in the VVs. Plenty took down the site details with one fellow Elwin owning a 1930s Don, A gypsy, a carapark 10 and an atlantic. He has all the site details and i am sure he will register regards

I have an original of the same Richard. I will send you a series of photos so you can update all the different Jennison models.Nomads were built from 1935/36 to the beginning of WW2. regards jennison

Richard did you get the email from Beryl re the 1952 propert for sale??? regards jeff
