The Dennis D is one of only two specials on this chassis.It passed from the LSC to the LFB who donated it with a Dennis 106 to the National Fire Museum.We purchased this vehicle in 2013 and are busy restoring it.

I remember that Middlesborough CB had a D series ET, which ahared the South Park station appiance room with three other D series pumps. As I recall, it looked almost identical to this Salvage Tender.

That would be ADC999K Rob, which had been new to Teesside Fire Brigade in 1972 and thus post Middlesbrough CB. Middlesbrough C.B had a Bedford TK/Miles ET DDC999C which had been new in 1965.

Chris - does this mean the Bedford was replaced after only seven years, or did it move to another Teeside station?

Chis do you mean ADC999K? see your very own photo #14930, or is this a re-registration?

The Tees-side ET was a F108 as Neil commented only two D series specials the other been a FoT looking like a pump but using rear cab area.
