We are lucky that some very rare colour film of the DCA Experimental Fire Tender, known as the Monegeeta Monster, survives in the CAHS collection. The film was taken at a December 1955 demonstration of the Monster's capabilites for VIPs at RAAF Laverton, Vic. The aircraft is ex-RAF Avro Lincoln RF423.

You can download and watch a clip from the film below.
