They look awful to be far and i think they were made wider at the rear to accommodate the crew, Paul Warnock has added a pic of one of these taken from a side shot and it looks even worse!
Sorry, almost forgot..... I have added a picture of the machine based in Malton that is exactly the same as his, but gives a better side view, the picture number is picture 11528, cheers, John.
The bit under the winch there, the really beefed up back doors, if there was a chav fire appliance...this would be it!!!
