I have seen this engine in action at numerous fires in downtown Kuala Lumpur during the 60s and 70s. Bring back old memories.

I am amazed that Dennis was being asked to supply an F2 chassis with a Braidwood body as late as Christmas Eve 1958. It was a decade out of date by then! I believe the F24/28 were already in full production by that date, if not quite a bit earlier.
