This a 1940 Flyer for Henderson Caravan parts and chassis. It is interesting to note that the business was founded in 1892, and that even in 1940 they were looking toward the future, and the end of the war.

An advertisement from The Argus 26-11-1938 shows that Henderson's were there at the start of the caravanning boom in Australia, offering their components for budding builders.
A very nice, stylised caravan is shown, and they were obviously quick to realise that a young lady in shorts would attract some attention too.
