Fire Engines Photos

What a great old 'bus' - literally.

There cannot have been much space behind the rear wind-screen; what with the athwartships pump engine there - so the Pump crew must have had only the rear-facing seat, and then, ride standing....

Thanks, Bob, for putting this beauty up; and let's hope she is in a good home....anyone got news of her ?

Regards, from Canada,

Thanks for the comments, fellows. I think the picture 1962 needs more information before we tie it in with the Kettering truck as above...Anyone from the Kettering area? Also, while in England during the time period I saw a couple of more modern Leylands with flush grille under the windshield, and it seems to me it was called a Leyland Titan. Bournemouth ran a pump escape, and I was told there was a northern city that had a couple. Any leads? Thanks.
