SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY: 10/10/1974
On that day, some 50 years ago, it was announced that
Leyland Australia would be restructured in a reduced
manufacturing role. That is, the factory was to close.
Throughout the year, I have presented some 40 essays
that chronicle the events of 1974. If you missed them on
Facebook, then here’s your chance to read all about it.

Also here for your enjoyment is Engineer Reg Fulford’s
view on the IAC Report which was a catalyst for the
wind-down of the manufacturing at Leyland Australia.
