Fire Engines Photos

Chris, the machine is showing E57. Hyde fire station in GMCFS. This appliance ended her days at Woodford Aerodrome in Cheshire. These Ford D1617/HCB-Angus WrL's were my favourite appliances in Greater Manchester. Perkins V8 engines, main beam and a lot of noise, plus the day-glo red livery, made them for me. OVU854R ended her days at Sterling Organics in Northumberland. That appliance served in Blackley.

Thanks for this Andy. Will try and get all my fire photos digitalised so's I can put up the other Manchester appliance.

Greater Manchester had a lot of these in their fleet in the late 70's early 80's. The first fire engine I rode was one of these based at Withington in Manchester URJ791S. If anyone has a picture of that particular fire engine I'd be grateful of a copy.
