Hi to all, I have a C8AX no 087 with a build date of 5 - 3 - 43. It is the third version of the kiwi puddle jumpers, the "ambulance, 4 stretcher". It was released from the army in the late 1960's, and spent nearly 20 years as a chemical sprayer! I'll post a picture soon, once I get the new canopy fitted. We plan to have all three versions together at the Cambridge Armistice Day commemorations later this year.
New Zealand Army Museum have a data base printout of most of the fleet from the early war years to late 1980's, but it is hardcopy only and is listed by NZ census number only. I have seen it and it records disposal dates, and vehicle type, but NOT the makers serial numbers like chassis no. etc.
I'll get some more C8AX numbers to Dave Hardaway for his list.
