Good point Frank - I'm certain the Dennis is still doing the preservation circuit.

Vic, both Mercedes-Benz DCU ended up in Singapore!
JYE 995N became YA9170L (DCU 84) at the central fire station
JYE 996N became YA9174B (DCU 83) at the Jurong fire station
Both went out of service in 1992.
So after 1984 did you joined the LFB?
Cheers,
Frank

Mick Evans no doubt !!

I only seem to remember Wally Graves from about 1978.

Anyone else recall him?

Added by Vic Roby on 17 May 2009.
If the salvage corps vehicle is at Moreton,it MAY
have been involved in the serious fire there on 16th may.
Many fire appliances destroyed.
