unusual for having no markings at all. Could be S&D chassis? Anybody help?

It has a CFE look about it to me.

Petros, compare this with picture 35202, looks similar
to me especially the lockers.

Looks like the 2 appliances at Southend Airport, XHK177X & XHK178X not sure but think they where Unipower with CFE bodywork.

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
