About 1980. Its Newquay fs, where 339 was on driver training. The RS was brand new. I sold UAF339 quite a fews ago, when it was working as the Kent and East Sussex railways fire appliance, having had three other F8s. Lost its whereabouts. So if anyone knows ?

Neal - you just stole my chapter and verse! Makes me quite cross. By the way, I did not post it because I was too busy looking up how to spell ecclesiastical.

Best use of space as the empty cavity is still there in mine, can't reach all the way up with a paint brush !
