A "Flying Squad" on a "Flying Motor" was created in 1929 at Headquarters Fire Station, Sydney, Australia. First response and required to be out the door in 30 seconds. A Dennis F49 became the Flying Motor ("Flyer") when new in 1973. In the late 1970's it was the first N. S. W. Fire Brigades (State of New South Wales) appliance to trial reflective tape and shows here the two types trialled. A red/yellow version of the white tape was later selected. A faint "1" can just be seen between the cab doors. Photo by me, 1981.
