Description

An International Mk IV concrete mixer (left) which was travelling too close to the soft edge of the road on Route 2 has rolled over onto its' side. This particular vehicle had only just arrived in South Vietnam a few days previously from Australia. The vehicle (right) is an International F5 6x6, 5 ton truck with a water tank fitted and it is being used to hose out the surplus concrete before it can set and ruin the agitator drum. The concrete mixer was then quickly recovered by sappers from 106 Field Workshops, Royal Australian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RAEME) where it was taken to the RAEME workshops at Nui Dat for repair .
