Fire Engines Photos

The title on the picture was misleading I laughed and booted myself when I clicked what the TL was, one of those days.

Looks great. I have similar Bedford 1952 S type but with different Morris-Magirus TL and needing major restoration - any information/documentation etc would be very useful, particularly re Morris-Magirus TL hydraulic clutches.

A similar Kent Fire Brigade machine, 547 DKN, is currently on a well known internet auction site!

I have always regarded the AEC Mercury as the most attractive truck to carry a TL, but this pic has me doubting that opinion. Thank you for sharing. Any ideas where it now or what state it is?

Does anybody know the whereabouts of 547 DKN now? It seems to have vanished since on e-bay a couple of years ago. I used to race it up the Wells hill in Tunbridge Wells when I was a boy - I always beat it! I then went on to drive a TL in London. I did see it in a barn near Cranbrook about 15 years ago. It was for sale but I couldn't afford it.

547 DKN has recently been aquired in a slightly sorry state by us for our collection. we are now in the process of restoring it, any information would be appreciated

Really glad to hear it's found a good home. I would be really grateful to get an occasional update and maybe come and see it sometime?

Any update on the restoration, Ian?
