My understanding is the RAAF was the only user in Australia, and they were configered as early rescue trucks.
Problem was that by the time they were finished, they were so heavy that the oridinary fire trucks would get there first.
Were not viewed with great pleasure, and did not remain in service too long.
There was at least one in Perth, owned by a fellow called Bob Stevenson, but I think he sold it in the late 90's.
If there are any around they should be still in good shape, if they were stored well, Bob's when I saw it looked like new.
