I have. poor B&W picture of HY4979 from 1968 when for some reason unknown to me, it was parked outside our house in Bristol. Was still in service then?
I drove this machine to a fire in the 1960's. An absolute monster to drive through the Bristol traffic!!Still have a photo in my office.GREAT!!!!! Now skipper the old fire boat PYRONAUT....... same era.
Does anyone know if she's still being restored in Shropshire?
Ed: I saw it garaged in Flint N Wales in 2018 owned by James Jones and due to be restored. He I think is a firefighter at Flint fire station so could be contacted via there.
