Proves that Dennis appliances still keep running on, i wonder how many Volvo appliances will still be around at this age?

Not many i guess by the amount of probs North Yorks had on their H reg appliances....

This appliance was made from parts of a dodge tl

This is the first I've heard of this Chris ! WMFS had six Dennis DF1616 PMs (A951-956 XOB), and this one (A954 XOB) was originally converted to a 3-axle job for driver training purposes. It was later still converted into the Recovery vehicle as shown in the above photograph, by Bro Wreckers. WMFS workshops also had a hand in the conversion. I have no knowledge whatsoever of any Dodge TL supplying any parts for it though.

Yes Ian I agree with you as far as I'm aware this was previously a Dennis DF Prime Mover with WMFS.

I had heard something like that before, I don't know what type of appliance the parts came from, but I believe the donor parts were the 3rd axel and the locker behind the cab

Have a look at picture 5325 and picture 5326, I think this machine is made up with some Dodge bits. Paul.

on the subject of WMFS Dennis DF's, does anyone have any info/photos on Centrals turntable ladder D584 OOP. I think it's callsign was Romeo113, I saw it in attendance at a fire in a block of flats (Merryhill Court) in Smethwick in the early 90's but the photos my dad had have sadly been lost...

That looks like a cool piece of kit but has anyone noticed the Man badge where the letters DENNIS should be?

Added by Danny Jones on 08 May 2011.

Yes is was done as a wind up for the old fleet manager who vowed there would never be an MAN in fleet while he was there.

There are no dodge parts on this vehicle.
