Humber Resce tender Warwickshire CAC571B

Exhibition hall (Olympia, Earls Court 1960s) photo by Norman Tarling. A number of ex military Humbers FV1601s were converted to fire appliances, in this case for the new motorway network in the midlands. see photo #16193 for CAC572B and more details of this very rare type of appliance. many years ago I started converting my Dinky Humber into this, but never quite finished. A job for retirement.
