New Zealand Dennis - PQ3717
This F24 is believed to be the only survivor of three to enter service in New Zealand. It served the Wellington area & was initially allocated to a very small fire station necessitating a rather unusual solution which will be seen from a separate rear view. This appliance is now being restored and is in private ownership.

There were only 2 F24's in New Zealand. This one which is a development of the 5 F8's (Rum 966 etc) supplied to Leeds with both well and inside seating, no rear doors for the crew and and the second being a conventional PE with midship pump.

Yes, there were indeed only two F24 jpbs. both of which were with Wellington.
Dunedin also had an F25 - the only real difference 'twixt the F24 & F25 being that the F25 was Dodge powered.

Not so, David. EQ 4647 was an F28, as was EQ 4648.
Chassis numbers for the two were 181/F28A2 and 102/F28A2 respectively.

Hmmm, yes I have confirmed after reading the Wanganui 125th jubilee book. Have amended my records accordingly.

As long as we've got it sorted out, David, that's the main thing.
