Hey Keith,

check this out - a C15a SWB Water tanker ! just scroll down on this webite

I think mine was just a Fire Brigade conversion though

Ahh but that's a Canadian model, we only made the 400 gallon water tanker on the 134" wheelbase.

There were several water tanker trailers here however.

I know of now:

38444M00003
38444M00237 ENGINE # XR392,689 W.O.72
384444M00242 ENGINE # WR3925,672
38444M00286 ENGINE # WR3925,868
38444M00302 ENGINE # WR3925794

Keith, I can't reconcile the other F15A.,...that '7' after the model number looks spurious...yet the engine number looks as though it's a late '43 one.

Hey Keith,
whilst looking at vehicles on cmp the yellow looks the same as mine, I assumed that having the red under the yellow it had gome from the Fire Brigade to Rural Fire Brigade but maybe it was a quarry vehicle, it was yellow with pale duck egg blue wingd front and back and the same blue detailing around the water tank

I believe the '3' prefix before the '8444' is the year of assembly in Australia, hence assembled and stamped in 1943, and as Keffy has said, in Perth, WA.
