New Zealand International - ATU855

This is another ex ACT Fire & Rescue International 1950D that was imported by the NZ Defence Force. This example dates from 1985 & was built by Grummet. It was also extensively refurbished by SPEL & placed into service at the Burnham Army Camp. Like the other example this vehicle is believed to have proved unreliable & it was withdrawn from service & sold in 2008. It has since been modified with the removal of the locker section & is being used as a truck.

It's called Aussie payback, the Kiwi's should have been aware of that, ,

Hey David I like the deck gun installed on top of the pump! Was that hand controlled or operated from inside the cab and also how come this proved unreliable because I know many old retired firemen who served on these and all have declared them to be "unbreakable". With thanks from Tiger.
