Bob,

Reference the ARNs quoted above:

171446 was converted to an F5 fire fighting truck in 1973. It was a GS vehicle before that and, if it served overseas, was in that configuration. It was rebuilt in 1970 as job number 166/70 as a GS, and converted later. Disposal was 1985.

171415, which was also a GS, was also rebuilt in 1970 as job number 167/70, and for some strange reason, it received the chassis from 171446 during that process.

I am unable to cross-check if either of these ARNs served in SVN, but will be able to do so next week when I get back to the office. I seem to remember that the Fire Fighting variant was a later conversion (hence the late 'F' series nomenclature), and did not see service in SVN, but again, can check data next week and post a more definitive answer then.

Regards

Mike C
