Hi Richard

Thought this advertisement for Henderson's Federal Spring Works, 334 Botany Road, Alexandria might be of interest . There is no indication they supplied vans, only components and the advert I posted the other day for 'Caralux' indicated they used a Henderson chassis. I'm not sure of the source or date of this advert but I believe it is from an NRMA Camping and Caravanning guide, possibly 1956, it has no cover but is the same size and format as a 1947 issue.

A second advert is from Modern Motor, July 1957,

While doing a bit of research on another topic I came across this 1949 ad for GLEN caravan chassis'.

Putting 2 and 2 together I rembered that back in 2009 I had some photos of a little home built caravan that had a GLEN badge attached to the chassis. It took a while to find but here it is.
