Nice photo!

This type of compressor based on the Type 1 motor was also quite common in Australia, with many being used for e.g. railroad maintenance.

some of the ADF dude will prolly be familar with a VW powered generator that used to be common. Had one at my last unit. never, ever got used but every couple of months it would go for a service. prolly the best maintained engine in the RAAF
