Flickr implies they were badged CFE but possibly built by Carmichael as protoypes, maybe on a subcontract? Perhaps CFE could not build airfield crash tenders?
Hi Gents, I have been searching through my brochures. I have a 1981 CFE one which coincides with the Southend vehicles year of registration. Also a Southend print out with broadly similar capacities. The chassis was a 13.5 ton GVW 4X4 CX MODEL S&D Special Purpose Chassis
