being a former fire fighter for a volunteer dept, i can tell you that many rural departments get their equipment and vehicles used through government auctions. since most fire apparatus live indoors, and are generally well taken care of, i would bet it's in the vehicle bay of some rural, volunteer fire department. having said that, once the fire dept is done with a vehicle, it usually either goes to another department, or up for general sale. if the latter is the case, and since it is a 6x6, it probably ended up on a farm.

Just an update.

I have found an RCAF one preserved in Canada.

Intentions are to go see it and document it later this winter.

Report and details later

Just a bit of an update.

The lady did sell the vehicle, it is now still in the Winnipeg area and is owned by a movie production company. Their vehicle person, or picture car guy as they call them, now has it running, in a fashion.

He thinks the machine is barking mad but loves it. It is devoid of all the fire fighting related items in the stowage areas. There are a few things missing like the roof monitor also.

Pictures are to be forthcoming soon he promises.

Once it is done on the production it is being used for it is likely to be sold again and a new home has already been identified and a sympathetic owner looks forward to having it all to himself, hopefully.

The only one of its kind known to have survived from RCAF service.

A typical thread for me here on this forum, only 10 years old.
