Looks like a very professional job. Interesting that in the home of HCB the local county brigade built their own appliances - and seem to have been able to build them to a pretty high standard too. Makes me wonder why and when they stopped?

More cost effective till 1989, when costs swung in favour of contractors for pumping applainces, i think the last complete build was ET, later classed as SEU K182 MPO 10/1992.
