The SnoBlos were not towed Chris, they were pushed.

Attached to the front of a fuel bowser these machines were pushed up and down runways doing an efficient job of burning out the fuel bowser’s clutch, creating flying chunks of ice and loosening and stripping off lumps of asphalt. Fun to watch though.

Really bad pic of the one at Brunty taken years ago on a disposable 35mm camera.

.

Just confiming that the one at Brunty still exists, in very poor condition now around the back of the airfield in the tree’s, I will get an up to date piccy next time I see it/dig it out.

Just a little note you might like to know, me and another once got it running back in about 1993/94, outside the hanger doors where 558 now resides, we plugged it into the bowser and ‘fettled’ with it all day, it was to put it in a word an interesting few hours, but it did run, I can vouch for that, and it wasnt that noisey.
I doubt whether anyone touched it again afterwards, as the runway sweepers are better sutied to Brunty’s needs and the problem of snow has never caused any snags.
Not sure why it was purchased in the first place :confused:

Cheers
