No, I'm told it only ever ran as a Pump, Neil.

thanks for the photo been looking for a few weeks as Oxford Diecast is going to make a London F8

Glenn, a Dennis F8???, at this time we're still waiting for OD to finally release the long awaited Bedford WLG Heavy Unit(Grey/Red/Green liveries), the Austin ATV and trailer pump in the same liveries, a LFB Dennis RS Series('London's Burning')pump, and also models of a LFB Dennis F106 with rear pump and side mounted pump.All these models mentioned were due to be released during the 1st and 2nd quarters of this year, and yet were still waiting.
I'm very interesting to hear Oxford are to release a Dennis F8 to their ever growing fleet of fire engines, but if so, I wonder how long we'll have to wait for it?.

Thanks very much gentlemen for the up-date on the long awaited Oxford models, I'm really looking forward to the Dennis F8 finally being released by someone in the 1.76 scale.
Now all we need is for Oxford(OD)to think about releasing another classic from the period-a 1950's Bedford/Miles pump/pump Escape, and here's one modeller who will be very happy.

Just think if they were to introduce a Commer/Miles (and I'm not saying to whom that comment is addressed, but he will know !!)

Added by Ian Moore on 10 June 2012.

You got it one mate. I'd buy the whole batch.
