Re: FP-11 Withdrawal Date

["Chris Stratton" <stratton.chris.cp@bhp.com.au>]

I have the following photos of FPs in service

FP13 at Wollongong 11/5/83
FP12 at Kempsey 11/7/84
FP13 at Hurstville 9/10/84
FP12 at Yerrinbool 18/3/85
FP12 at Coolamon 3/4/85

Unfortunately the only photos I have of FP11 were taken at Holbrook in 1988
after it was out of service.
