Rye's crashed Dennis.
This is what can and did happen to the Dennis at Rye on a bend in between Rye and Camber whilst going on a call into Kent. The pump is facing the wrong way as it is now pointing towards Rye. Thankfully every one walked away with only minor injuries. It could have been a lot worse knowing how fast these Dennis's could go.

The roof was ripped off in the crash and the Bedford truck was a general purpose truck which I think was based at Bexhill.I will try and find another picture with the registration.

Having looked at the other pictures of this Dennis I have to say that the construction left a lot to be desired. Thank you for the info you have given. I wasn't sure who owned the Bedford truck so it's good to know that it belonged to the Fire Brigade plus the allocation.
