Dodge G1313 ALY911Y It was designed and built by HCB Angus. Its design was based on a standard Type B water tender but with a few changes. The pump and water tank were not fitted and their space was taken up with a built in 7KVA generator, a hugo air compressor and a tunnel for carrying 4 ton of corrugated metal , acro props and sucon folding ladders, it could carry a crew of 6 and some of the gear in the lockers included 80 plastic salvage sheets, 40 polythene sheets, 10 roof covers, 2 portable dams each of 160 gallons, 2 bulk rolls of polythene, 2 submersible pumps and 1 petrol pump, 2 wet vacs, 2 fans and 2 sets of trunking, 1 oxy cutting gear set, 1 portable 4KVA generator and 4 cable reels, 4 flood lights, 1 chainsaw, 1 disc cutter, 1 Ten ton portapower kit, 6 BA sets and spare cylinders and other tools and small gear.
On the roof it carried a 109 ladder, a triple short ladder, a double short ladder and 2 roof ladders. It was a very good vehicle and very reliable if the LSC had not closed the Corps was going to order 4 more.
