Dennis F8 WrT Cambridge prototype KCE 820

taken I think on a Fire Brigade Society visit in the mid 1970s to Cambridge, this is a unusual prototype in that the wheel arches are enclosed. Allocated to the city in 1952/3. Again relettered 1974/5.

Once again Petros you have given us a real treat with your photos, thankyou.
I believe this appliance is or was part of the Fire Services National Museum Trust collection.

yeah a shame that! a hord of classic vehicles kept inches apart from each other in a shed never to turn a wheel again, ex gwent Dennis F15 ruined with the body rotten due to years outside.
Dont get me wrong preservation is good but on the scale that they are doing it, good vehicles are going bad through.
They should auction/sell off some of the vehicles in order to make funding.

For most of its career, this ran with a Merryweather 45 foot ladder.

Ed: I am sure it did. Just can't find a photo!
