Wonderful photo Jean-Paul. Classic Bedford TK/Somati from the 1970'-1980's. I'm sure that Brussles and Bruges ran a fleet of these exquisite machines?

Thanks for sharing this great photo Jean-Paul of this fantastic Bedford TK. It looks like it has a huge crew cab and no roller shutters on the lockers, a true classic.

There were a lot of these TK heavy pumpers in Belgium at the time. They were indeed designed to carry a crew of eight to ten firefighters.

Does anyone know why the panel between the doors was left unpainted? All these Belgian TKs seem to have this feature, but it was not a characteristic of any UK ones as far as I know.
