Staffordshire Ford Water Tender
CEH 930T: Ford D1113/CFE. Before Dennis, Staffordshire fire Brigade was dominated by Ford and Bedford. This appliance served at Lichfield and Gnossal.
It was one of four day-glows bought in 1979 and based at the day-manned stations at Kidsgrove, tamworth, Leek and Lichfield. The following year, Staffs bought three Ford D1317s, also in day-glow 'orange'.

Yes, the Ford badging was 1114 for the 11 tonne GVW chassis with the 4.9 liter six cylinder Ford 140 BHP turbo engine, which was used for quite a few fire appliances. The 1317 was a 13 tonne GVW version with the Perkins 8.4 liter V8 170 BHP engine - also used by Dennis, Dodge, ERF and Shelvoke in fire appliance chassis around the same time.
I believe Lancashire also bought pump appliances on D1617 chassis appliances, and a few of these were also used for aerial trucks by other brigades, due to the need for a higher GVW.
