British Nuclear Fuels at Capenhurst, Ellesmere Port had a very similar appliance a few years back - it was a cancelled export order. I wonder if it was another for this part of the world?

BNFL Capenhurst's Bedford was preserved by someone from Bwlchgwyn,Wrexham 4/5 years ago and was kept at the Milestone pub in that village. The pub is now demolished and I have not seen the Bedford since.

However this is the only Bedford CFE which uses Brunei Fire Brigade the other uses Malay version.

Do the records shown the body builder ?.

It looks like a CFE (Cheshire Fire Engineering) badge under the Bedford one.

Neal,
Well spotted and many thanks for you comment.
I understand that CFE were part of the ERF group.
Do you know if they are still in business ?.

CFE finished around 1980/1981 and from the ashes sprung Saxon. Which later became Saxon Sanbec (1990ish I think) and thats died a death around 7 /8 years ago , originally the were a management buyout as I recall but someone will have more info than me
