1977 Dennis F60 Emergency Tender
On a cold and damp Saturday afternoon in late autumn in the North of England 8 cylinders of a Rolls B81 spluttered into life. Although usually good starters when kept in a warm appliance bay they are a little bit nore reluctant to roar into life when they live in a barn.
FGR281S is a Dennis F60 Emergency Tender formerly of the Durham County Fire Brigade. The engine coupled to a manual 5 speed gearbox. There are two power take offs, one for the Hydrovane 25cfm rotary compressor and the other for a 7.5kW 110 Volt generator. Lighting masts can be manually extended from the rear of the machine.
A little unusual is that there is only one forward crew door on the nearside.
