Hi Rick, Richard, Les and others,
We must have had some in NZ as I can remember one used as a water tanker for firefighting at a local Lands & Survey Depot in the late 1950's. Looked exactly as in your picture. Les
We used to borrow it to cart water for the horses at the local sports meetings. The engine ticked over a treat and the pump put out a huge amount of water.
I've recently heard of its chassis sitting on a farm in the district. Goodness knows where the tank etc is. Must make some enquiries.
Cheers,
Terry
