FRL 792L Dennis D Jaguar
Dennis D with Jaguar engine, originally served with the Cornwall County Fire Brigade ans was stationed at Truro. Then went to (if I remember correctly) Felixstowe? docks, where it was repainted blue (paint just visible as it is breaking back through). It was subsequently went in to preservation and was restored back to red (nightmare job to repaint I believe).
Seen here at the Rudgqick Steam show in 2006

They had a lot of trouble with them and the old story of blown engines and workshops converted them to Rolls Royce B.61s which cured the problem
Got a feeling this D Series was at Falmouth Docks as the harboursides water tender hence the blue livery what a smashing appliance to own.
