1959 Commer Karrier Gamecock engine

This is a 1959 commer karrier gamecock fire engine owned by me
I bought it off eBay and have restored it to be fully operational
It is ex westmorland (now cumbria) and served at kendal and then kirkby lonsdale until coming out of service in 1974
I don't have any photo's of it in service so if any recognises her or has info on her I'd love to have it!
I've owned her for 3 years and her first outing was to the great Dorset steam fair in September 2008
I will send more pics soon

Love the little squirt, er, fire-person, er junior fire-fighter; growing up with Fire-Engine(s) in the family - what a great child-hood.....
