LUN671 Dennis F8 British Celanese

1955 appliance and the only one built with roller shutters. It was built for the Wrexham factory hence the Denbighshire registration. Supplied with gutbuster ladder.
I have no idea why it sports a London FB crest.

Celanese also has EUN560D a swb series IIa Land Rover from new see

The dual side mounted hose reels were an option, and usually associated with the bigger optional 300 IG water tank - which was also an option. This allowed a portable pump to be fitted above the fixed 500 IGPM rear mounted pump, as this space was used for the single hose reel on the standard version. With its more modern lockers and 13.5 metre ladder this example came rather well equipped.
