SHS 63 is an Austin FFK/HCB HrT from Western Area Fire Brigade. My records show her to have been in service at Brodick on the Isle of Arran. 732 CGD was, I believe a Maudsley Merlin from Glasgow Fire Service based at Govan then Knightswood

What was happening, with these 2 Pumps on the Flat-bed?

Going for Disposal; or, a Major Refit or Servicing?

And, would 'Western Area' be that of Scotland, including the islands?

Thanks for sharing this "Great Grab Shot" with us, Peter.

This photo captures a rather rare Austin FFK, which was not a chassis favored by more than a handful of British fire brigades.
