I remember them very well in Tayside. Albion/Firechief/Carmichael "Vista View" ours had crew jack knife doors. DTS755D was converted into a Foam Salvage Tender and OYJ465K into an Emergency Tender which didn't last long due to chassis rust.

Only 1 ever came to NZ, fitted with an escape and order for Tauranga.
