Durham Dennis Great Dorset Steam Rally VUP 936L

This picture was taken at the Great Dorset Steam Rally on 04/09/09 and shws an Ex Durham County Fire Brigade Dennis. After being taken off the run by Durmham it served with a brigade in the Heathrow area when it was sprayed white. It is currently undergoing restoration and is now kept in the Weymouth area. It still has the Jaguar petrol engine along with the modifications added to prevent the engine overheating.

Many years ago I did some work experience with BAA's Fire Service at Heathrow at the two bay "domestic" station they used to run. After a fantastic week out on their brand new Rapier (but that's another story), knowing my interest in appliances I was taken on the last day to a industrial unit that had a white Dennis D (similar to the one shown) in storage. I took a photo which was of very poor quality, but maybe able to check if it's the same one. I was led to believe at the time that it was being put to use for some maintenance work

John, yes thats probably the same machine then. The current owner did have some photos of it at Heathrow and as I siad it was white with black writing on the sides.
