1936 Dennis Ace Kurri Kurri Australia

This is my 1936 Dennis Ace fire appliance in original unrestored condition at Kurri Kurri Fire Station NSW Australia. It was first stationed at Lidcombe in Sydney followed by Avalon, Gundagai,Yass,Manilla and Coolah. I acquired her in 1997 and has not missed a beat since, it still has the original barnet and glass tyres as the spare.

Great looking Dennis Ace so thanks for sharing this picture with us Aaron .Can you maybe send in another picture of this appliance showing a little more of it-maybe a side view please.

Yes, would also love to see more of this Dennis, so far away; and her history - some 73 years surviving in original condition. She must have been kept in service, until quite recently.

Thanks Pete and Pat for the comments. I'll drag out the album for the other photos I have of the Ace and of my F1

My brother has restored one without the tank or pump on. But has the windscreen attached. No fire fighting gear. So has made it into a flatbed.
