DFG497 Albion Kerr Drysdale pump Fife

1938 pump/hose reel tender based Methil Fife.

It was often rallied 1970s-90s. Even appeared on BBCs "Dr Finlay's casebook". Is it still around?

John Kerr body, Drysdale pump.

Pleased to confirm it is most definitely still around in private hands, and running at that. It attended a small event in Fife early last summer, although you wouldn't have known it was early summer, it was Baltic. Came and went under its own steam. Didn't see it arrive but great to see and hear it on departure for 'Home Station'. Spent some time trying to fathom out the complexities of the Drysdale pump and pipework ... and gave up.
