Chris do you know where the dodge cu was from ? And do you have a photo of it ?

Could this be the dodge ESU from Rosyth perhaps?

Hi Scally, I do have a picture of the Control Unit. It's on a different strip of film to this, and is waiting to be digitalised. When I get it sorted, I'll post it for you.

This picture shows a Dodge G1313/Fulton&Wylie Water Tender which was originally based at Tayport which was station B8-call sign B81.
The Control Unit at the same time when picture was taken was D415FSX,this being a Dodge G10/M&T(Methven and Thomson)FFRS Control Unit.The CU was based at Headquarters in Thornton,Kilkcaldy.

Grant,when this picture was taken back in 1989 the ESU(Emergency Support Unit)was yes based at Rosyth.It was a Dodge G1313/F&W/M&T with the registration-EMS262V.When the appliance first entered service it was a Water Tender Ladder and was later converted by the brigade to an ESU.
