Sorry, that should have been the 'East Riding' the registration was actually FBT. Whoop's!

It looks like a BT registration which would make it East Riding Fire Brigade then Humberside

Hey Chris and Rick, I don't know how long it sat in the yard between this pic and when it was de-commissioned, but, you have to look at the body panel work to realize that the builders of this fine machine (not that I'm a Ford fan) were absolute craftsmen!!

Chris, I think the only Fords in West Riding service at this time were the two control units from Leeds and Bradford.

It is one of two Water Tenders purchased by East Riding, FBT 848L and FBT 849L. They were Ford D1010 Carmichael and passed, as you say, to Humberside in 1974.

As you say John, both passed to Humberside in '74 and were allocated, 848 to Beverley and 849 to Bridlington
