In an article discussing Armourguard's financial siutation, the Australian Financail Review wrote:
Once a week, for example, an armoured vehicle is loaded onto a plane in Perth and flown to Broome and back again in order to keep cash available in Australia’s remote northwest.

Could this posisbly be right? Does Australia even have civilian freighters of this size?
I can understand higher security freight containers, but transporting a whole truck seems excessive.

Seems strange. Why load the whole armoured vehicle when they really just need a suitable security container? Would the container be too large or heavy to be transported at either end?
