This is not the Newport(Mon) Foam Tender Robert, that was registered VDM 644.

No, the Newport job was VDW 644, though it was re-registered when preserved - I think with an HSV registration, I'l try and find out.

The one on this picture - 450 WMH - was new to Reckits and coleman if memory serves me rightly.

A pity. Yellow seems appropriate for a mustard factory fire brigade!

The yellow was adopted by Hull VFB.

Thanks! Do you happen to know if this volunteer brigade still exists?
