Hi Morgan, great little pump, one of my favorites. I like the all over red paint work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again Morgan, its a Bedford, its red all over AND a gong! Take the two tones off and this would be perfection on wheels.

Yes John....I can imagine trying to carve a path through today's traffic with a bell, cannot get through using a siren and bullhorn !!!

Aye Barrie, but I exist in a world where Morris 1000s and Lanchesters rule the road! Oh! and Bedford and Dennis pumps of course! lol!

Thanks for that. Brings back lovely childhood memories of the 1970s "air raid type siren actuating on the tower" and the retained members mustering at the station to man a sister Dorset Bedford HCB appliance KFX 2G based at trinity st (stn 08).

An ex Lancashire PE of similar pattern although all back end was sold on Ebay about 12 months ago. It seems to have vanished. Does anyone know of its whereabouts? There are hardly any ex Lancs machines preserved so the few there are need finding.
