1970s salvage tenders were registered AVM3B or 6330VR. Commissioned by Manchester City brigade. This is not the Leyland Firemaster though it looks like one. This one is even rarer.

Late Alastair Collins collection - used with permission.

Petros:

This is an amazing collection of photos, including so many unique and quite frankly some rather weird and wonderful examples of unique or very rare appliances!

I particularly like all the Fords, as I was deeply involved in Ford's SVO fire appliance chassis business in the 1960s, but of course most of these in this series came much later...

Thanks for sharing this superb archive!

Thanks for the comment. I got the collection from his widow via an intermediary I knew from my N Wales days. By the way I am now sure this is AVM3B. For more on MANCHESTER Albions see picture 40140.
