Fire Engines Photos

David, I saw this for sale - glad its being saved. Is it staying local (Kent)? Very little could be seen under the sheet in the sale photo's but it doesn't look too bad. This is the 2nd Kent Commer to be rescued recently from the Maidstone area!

I'll post a shot that's on my system, showing PKO 556 when it was with Glory Mill.

This machine served at Glory Mill Wooburn Green, alongside my Dennis Ace for many years. My late father was in the works brigade.

Hi David! How are you getting on with the restoration of my dad's engine? Would love to see some recent pics if you have some?

Hi David. How is PKO 556 coming along? Strange to think it's been 9 years now since you bought her. It came up as a memory on my Facebook. Would love to see some recent photos. Thanks Ruth

I'm sure this has since been moved on and is now running as a chassis / cab

Hi.
I have the original Drivers Handbook also a memo from the Chief Fire Officer of Kent Fire Brigade regarding lubrication instruction to the officer in charge at Gravesend Fire Station. I originally bought PKO556 from Glory Mills paper mill.
