GXA 97 MERRYWEATHER DENNIS rear

I thought a second photo, this one a rear view of the Merryweather Dennis TL delivered to the National Fire Service in 1943 would be of interest. As I noted there obviously were several delivered with the GXA plates, a second one found in SW England; this pristine example was in the Fife Fire Service. Did it survive?
