Dennis F43 Swansea PE OWN 721F

1970s a classic pump escape from a pre 1974 City brigade. Was preserved and rallied. Looks like a burnt out chapel, one of many in Wales.

In 1969, shortly after this was delivered, Swansea ran two of these Dennis PEs out of their central station, which also housed a Merryweather-AEC TL and an ET. Each if the their other two stations had a WT.

Another large coastal town, Southend, also deployed their pump appliances along the coast at three stations in a similar fashion.
