March 1961. That was why I said not sure if last one or two may have
entered service under him. The chasis were delivered 1960 but not sure
if all bodies fitted at once or staggered delivery used. If any
entered service under Clem it would have only been 34 which from
memory was last to emter service for some reason, and not 36.
