Hats off to the person who polished the locker doors!

I remember having to polish the locker doors when I first joined, God what a job, tins of brasso and tons on news paper. Glad when they got pumps with the covering on the locker doors.

With vista-vue cab, the same as the Albion's we had in Tayside.

Carmichael built this type of bodywork on Albion, Bedford, Dodge and Ford chassis as well as Commer. They all looked identical except for the chassis builder's badge. Although more expensive than a crew cab tacked onto a standard lorry cab, they were very spacious and had large windows which let in a lot of light, so I am told crew members really liked them. By the time this unit was built in 1967 tilting lorry cabs were being introduced, first by AEC and Ford. As a result, the idea of a fixed custom crew cab on a fire appliance like this had its days numbered...
