How many had the SS11 fit then....

I walked away from one in Sabah, which I have been told was repaired because it was an SS11 modded beast and for the outlay, too valuable to scrap. I am in SIN at the moment and do not have my Logbook with me...why would I have it here ?!?!? I think it was XP328 and when I walked away from it in 1968, it had no boom, only blade stubs, both front legs broken and it looked a bit 'bad and suckled', so to speak. I considered it to be "scrap"..... and for the life of me could see no reason to cart it off the side of the hill

Laurie B on the K-y P------g thread informed me that it was hooked out, repaired and ended it's days at Sluggersgoh. The repair must have taken five years....
