1953 Dennis F1 Australia

Another angle of my Dennis, with the beautiful Newcastle foreashore and harbour in the background. The Dennis was a hit with the kids, especially as I had old and current turn out gear for the kids to wear.

Aaron, it looks beautiful standing there in the sun. Are those the original headlights? The officer side light looks like a brass CAV lamp fitted to 1930's Dennis's.

Hi Barry, Thanks for the comments the venue really heaps. The lights were what was on it when I got many years ago. I assume they may be not be the original as the other F1 appliances I have viewed that the NSWFB purchased had little lights similar to the ones on my Dennis Ace. they do look nice though and I have had a few people come up to me asking if they could buy or swap them. If they were not the original ex factory it would be great to actually have the correct ones fitted.

Could someone please tell me the pump rating and tank capacity of this appliance, and also how many firefighters in its crew?
