Yea Jon,glad you shared this picture with everyone and not just me,you sent me a copy recently.Its brilliant to see this line-up as it was with British made fire appliances,in a typical British fire station from just afew years ago.Certainly looks different these days.

I Second The Motion !

BTW I saw a question on "Answer.Com" Web-Site, or some such:

"Why are all British Fire Trucks named 'Dennis'?"

["Dennis The Menace" is a well-known comic-strip, here]

The explanation was duly made of the manufacturer "Dennis"; added, was that now it is usually "Scania" on the fire-trucks....

So, good to see all these Fire Engines named 'Dennis' !
