After sitting in our shed for several years we are moving forward with getting this fantastic example of British fire Brigade History back on the road, Does anyone out there have any pictures of her in Service?

Ah - their 1937 Leyland FK6. I have a front threee quarter view of this on the system.

I think this may be an FT3A. The bigger version of the Cub - rather like the one at Watford.

Definitely an FK6, ive seen it and used to own a very similar vehicle
(8 stud wheels)

Richard - As Mike confirms, it's definitely an FK6. Whilst Watford never ordered a Leyland (of any type), the only FT3A to a Hertfordshire brigade according to Leyland records was DJH 523 which was supplied to St. Albans.

Mike and Ian,
Thanks for the info. I am sure you know more than I do. It was the four deliveries and the fact that it looks like the St Albans FT3 that lives at Watford which made me question the model. Anyway its great to know that my FT3A is still one of only three survivors rather than four.
Regards, Richard
