Deeside screen savers

In 1985 I was attending a shout in the Dennis WRL A 758 LJC based at Deeside when suddenly the windscreen started to flop about. We stopped the appliance in the nick of time as the screen fell forwards and the SUB/O made a sterling catch that would have been the envy of many a good cricketer. With haste we duly dispatched the screen over the nearest hedge for safe keeping, and proceeded to the shout retrieving the offending article on our return. (SUB/O Cook pictured with his catch)

Some great pics from the great days of the fire service. I'm sure we had this Dennis at Prestatyn for a few months.

Clwyds last Dennis,Nice to see her without the stripes. Last I knew A758LJC was in Chile and had received a new set of tyres. Maybe warmer but Im sure she misses Deeside! Who was the Driver Herbie?

Red Watch could always be relied upon to break anything!

I originally thought it was an early form of Riot Shield for dealing with senior officers after HMI dinners!

Ian, you had YFM675W from E2. How's the bus spotting going? That's one hell of a bus stop to get out of on Sealand Road opposite Burgess' I can speak of every day experience.

YFM675W served at E2 Deeside,W8 Ruthin,and 2 other West Div stations.She was also seen as a reserve when at training in Rhyl after LJC488R. She is also shown as taxed on DVLA,dont know where?

Did the same thing not happen to White Watch on Flag Day aroung the same time with Richie Jennings as OiC? I seem to remember seeing it returning to E2 following a shout to Flint minus the windscreen after they had provided a "Guard of Honour" @ Paul Gambinos(?) (Retained FF) wedding
