The big boxes behind the front mudguards contained BA sets. This was rather unusual in 1934, but they could have been later modifications, Some brigades in the UK failed to own or operate any BA sets well into the nineteen fifties, arguing that they encouraged dangerous behavior, although cost was possibly also a concern. Others -including my home town Darlington - had four CA sets ready to go in the cab of each of their pump appliances by 1953.
