Simply stated, this was the end user's way of telling us that the truck was a Lorry version of a C291Q.” Hanno I’m at a loss to understand why you continue to ignore the official Ford designation in favour of Brian Nunn’s false and misleading “F22” designation. Putting it in quotation marks renders it no less false or misleading, especially with constant repetition over nearly two decades via your “F22” webpage. Personally I’m anxious to dissociate myself from Brian’s false and misleading “F22” designation and any promotion of his rebodied vehicle as an originally configured “winchless FAT”. There are laws against falsifying vehicle provenance and promoting it to unsuspecting buyers. Brian’s “F22 winchless FAT” myth may have started innocently enough, but now that we have Lauren’s contract card information we can no longer plead ignorance. It’s no skin off my nose but I think you’d be wise to update your webpage to reflect this information.

Hanno I've posted this message verbatim on Keith's Facebook page to avoid potential confusion. Cheers, Tony.
Tony,

I was preparing a proper answer to your posting, but I see you have since changed it. Frankly, I am a bit miffed by your demeanour to all concerned and how you address this very important research topic. It is solely because of your attitude that I don't feel I need to discuss this any further with you. I was hoping we could have gone to the bottom and turn the last stone on this subject. Alas. I have removed my postings on FB regarding what you think is a mythical vehicle anyway.

Have a good day.
