Bob: Is that a Goddess in the line up? If so, do you know was it modified for airfield use or just a standard unit for structural fire suppression around the airport?

Rob, I presume it was a standard one, in later years there had several more, painted yellow.

Anyone remember Sherwood Parson’s “fire engine red”?
