This little tender makes me wonder how much of the kit carried in and on a modern rescue pump would fit into this vintage example.

It also raises the question of what would really be missed if it could not be jammed in there?

I think you find that this was new to Devon F.B in 1964 at Plympton, in 1967 this became part of Plymouth F.B, Plymouth F.B ceased to exist in 1974 and 210 TTA returned to Devon F.B, reported out of service 1980.

I think this was one of two at Plympton training school when I was there in 1979
