Fire Engines Photos

Very stylish bodies but how practicle the concealed hosereel was I don't know. Lancs had some type A WrTs but I've never seen a back end view.

great when the reel bursts eh?

The Lancashire WrTs (and they didn't have concealed locker - unless it was covered by a locker) numbered 18, and there were also (with diferently styled bodywork) 6 that ran as PEs. Cuerden also bodied their first ET (VTJ 929) and 4 Commer normal control PSTs which towed trailer pumps.

Do you have a photo of the appliance in the background?

The old Isle of Ely Fire Service (now incorporated into the Cambs FRS) had three Bedford S type water tenders with Cuerden bodywork, all bought in the early 50's.

I'm looking into the history of this otherwise small brigade and I notice that on the DVLA website two fo them are still in existence - DJE 92 and CJE 605. If anyone has any info/pictures of these appliances please by all means let me know. Thanks!
