Last time I saw her, she was sitting in Earlswood yard awaiting disposal, Powys had vehicles like this running right up to 1996!!

Nice to see it on the road again Roy, I have a pic of its sister PVJ696R at Machynlleth. Yours was one of the last pair of petrol ones taken out of service, late 1993/ early 1994 wasnt it? I believe Llanidloes WrL was more famous but a Diesel. She looks well.

Powys Fire Service had a fleet of these which relaced machines from the mid-fifties inherited from Brecon and Radnor Joint FB at re-organisation. Similar appliances were at both Llandrindod Wells and Builth Wells: though I can't remember the exact registrations the Builth one was an "S" registration.

I'm sure I remember one of these at Rhayader, before the next Bedford (picture 30239 on this website).

You are probably bang on as most of the stations had these -but do you recall the all red Kew Dodge in Rhayader before that.
Llandrindod also had a Kew Dodge originally.
