Suffolk Fire and Rescue - Sudbury F518HRC
This is Sudbury 09, 1 of 3 water bowsers in the county of Suffolk, the other 2 being based at Newmarket and Framlingham.
The appliance was bought off of Dairy Crest, the milk company and converted into a fire appliance.
It has served in Sudbury its entire life and will do until it is taken off the run, whenever that is.
It is seen in the rear yard of Sudbury Fire station because it cannot exit the station through a front door because there is not one on the 3rd bay, so when it gets a shout, it exits via the back door as you can see in the picture and exits through the back of the yard onto the main road.

Hey Calvin and John,
As far as i know this one is staying red all over, and is going to be run into the ground! haha. Believe it or not this only has just over 4100 miles on the clock despite its age, so i have a feeling if the chassis holds out it could be here for a while yet.
Newmarket had a B reg Water Bowser that was just dead, so they gave them the L reg prime mover as you mentioned Calvin and sort of spruced it up abit, but i think the other 1 is staying at HQ, it certainly isn't coming to us at Sudbury, the only other option is to replace the D reg bowser at Framlingham.

Peter thats what I like to hear, sensible use of money and keeping workshops busy! Pity a few other brigades don't follow Suffolks example!
