I think this STU was with the Edinburgh Fire Museum but I heard it had been scrapped because of its condition. Hopefully someone knows differently. If it is still with us does anyone know the reg no.? I notice the rear number plate seems a later alteration, unless some were built like that.
I know that these towed fire pumps were used extensively all over the UK during World War II. Initially it was thought that they could be towed by standard cars, but typical small and low-powered British cars just weren't up to the task.
