Hello Martin a big fire appliance turn out for such a small fire ?

Added by Morgan Chapman on 15 March 2011.
Looks like either Thornaby or Grangetown station yards Martin ???

'hi morgan, these were from a firemans collection I acquired (with full copyright) and I think it was actually taken at the station where they were based!

Added by Martin on 15 March 2011.
My first thought when I seen this photo was it looks like its in the yard at Thornaby Station, training perhaps?

Added by Adam Plumb on 15 March 2011.
This is a training fire , not a turnout

Added by Alan on 16 March 2011.
I think it was thornaby barrie and yes it was just a training excercise

The two wagon's in this photo was taken during an exercise at (thornaby) stn 5.. or echo theses days.. DAJ 700T was the ET from (stockton) stn 2.. BRAVO theses days.. days of old found memories..

I've been told one of the tdc sisters still exists, cant remember if it was TDC 620M or TDC 619M....

Added by Martin on 17 March 2011.
TDC 620M went south many years ago.. taken to FORD'S to be repainted and added with the old TEESSIDE markings was rallied for a few years then parked up in a barn.. then lost complete touch of what happened to that great wagon.. took it from cleveland to london what a drive that was.. are you the Martin who's got DAJ 700T..

Added by Dave Todd on 17 March 2011.
Hi Dave yes I own this vehicle and its currently undergoing restoration, an interesting project so far!

Added by Martin on 17 March 2011.
TDC620M last I heard (2009) was in a barn near Chelmsford but had been damaged on the roof and was a bit of a state

Good project to take on. Have you been informed by Mr Hall? That I've got one of the lads who drove DAJ on hand for advice and I've given Mr Hall some photos for you to be passed on to you as they are of DAJ when it was at stn2 showing the equipment carried on it Dave

Added by Dave Todd on 18 March 2011.
Ian do you have any more details, i may be in the position to rescue it if its available?

Hi Dave, mr Hall hasn't mentioned it but it depends when you told him, would be great to speak to any guys who worked on it as theres still some things im unsure about.....

Added by Martin on 18 March 2011.
Martin - I have no doubt that I'm telling you something which you already know, but DAJ 700T was the only Dennis F133 built ! (Yes, there were many DF133 jobs, but they were totaly different animals of course).

Added by Ian Moore on 19 March 2011.
hi ian...i didnt actually know it was the only one, i thought there were a few built but as they were built to spec they were all different making it unique in that way.

Added by Martin on 19 March 2011.
Hello Martin, While I think on.. I'm sure I've got some CCFB uniform & fire kit knocking around and your welcome to have it to place on either DAJ or your other ex CCFB wagon.. Talk soon Dave

Added by Dave Todd on 19 March 2011.

Added by Ian Mc on 19 March 2011.
Hi dave if you want to mail me direct feel free and we can sort something out....thanks...martin.

Added by Martin on 19 March 2011.
Hello Martin, I see the photos have come up a treat on your info wall about DAJ..

Added by Dave Todd on 23 March 2011.
thanks dave, i should have quite a comprehensive collection of pics on DAJ once its finished, ill get those photos to you shortly as well!

Added by Martin on 24 March 2011.
Could This Photo be RE-ENACTED in the near future.. When These TWO meet up again..

Added by Dave Todd on 02 September 2011.
i think they would look a touch different at the moment!!ill see what I can do tho :)

Added by Martin on 02 September 2011.
Martin sold DAJ700T ten years ago. Does anybody know its whereabouts now?

Added by Petros on 21 October 2023.
I do think that update on the front grille of the ET was a really retrograde move, compared to its slightly older brother pump in this photo. Of course fire engine design is not a beauty contest, as long as the vehicles work well, but that clagged on farm gate just doesn’t do anything compared to earlier Dennis designs.
