Fire Engine Photos
Dennis F38 Pump of Essex County Fire Brigade
This photograph was taken by me. Further to picture 14939. Here is TOO 928E in the latter years that I owned this appliance (I believe around 1996). It is seen here at the Loseley Park Classic Car and Country Show (near Guildford, Surrey) in aid of the Queen Elizabeth Foundation For Disabled People.
Shown at the end of it’s restoration, the machine can now be seen in it’s original configuration as a Pump Escape due to the skill of my father (and a little help from me) uniting it with an ex Hertfordshire 50ft metal Merryweather Wheeled Escape, trunnion and gantry set. This was one of the last wheeled escapes to have been in use in mainland Britain and was latterly carried by a Dennis SS as per picture 4804.
TOO 928E had received much cosmetic work by this point including having been re-sprayed/re-painted and had the benefit of re-chroming work.

F38 Pump Escape fully dressed now with a wheeled escape ladder on its back.
Great bunch of pictures, and thanks for the added bits of history on her.
