Fire Engines Photos

This was a 1978 Ford A0610/Hawson/WSFB Workshops (CAV)Canteen Van of the West Sussex Fire Brigade,not East Sussex and was stationed at Bognor Regis Fire Station.It was built on a Ford AO610 chassis with bodywork by Hawson,and then converted by brigade workshops into a Canteen Unit.I've had many a hot Steak pie(home-made)and coffee from this old chuck wagon over the years,then they changed to chicken&mushroom-uugh.
It wasn't until just the other week I finally found out why we didn't get those home-made pies anymore,but thats another story.

Hello Harvey a chap i know bought it from Sussex way and i took some photos of it complete in his drive at Poole Dorset it still had the canteen sign still on the front on it.The guy who he sold it to use to buy cheap vans and convert them to mobile homes and the guy he sold it to was a traveller and re-sprayed it blue and finished off the interior then was off to Spain in it.
