Safe and secure with the Northern Collection of Dennis Fire Appliances.

Ed: delighted to hear that Barry, but its not a Dennis!

Well played, Doctor H! If it is unique, then it is worth preservation, even if it is a humble little Austin. Speaking of unique, have you established yet if your F8 is actually the first one built?

I am (as usual) confused, but I believe F8 number one went to either Cambridge or Grimsby?

The prototype F8 (that's in the Northern Collection) went to Cambridgeshire)

Eddie baker claims the Cambridge F8 KCE820 was a cancelled export order. There are several photos of KCE on this site. See for example
