Happy new year from petros, volunteer moderator. It has been a good year on the site with lots of new photos and expert comments.

There was a tradition till recently that Dr Barry or Peter Matten would load a nice christmassy fire picture. My skills don't match theirs but here is my little effort for 1/1/2023. Courtesy Geoff Pritchard collection acquired via the Fire Brigade Society

The red nose is most appropriate! Thanks for all your work. As you know, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for volunteers!

A Happy New Year to all.

I'd like to second Rob's comment. Thank you for the time you spend keeping this resource/reference/archive alive! The choice of photo is topical for members of the Fire Service Preservation Group as there is an article about how the current owners of 240FLM acquired the vehicle, in their latest newsletter.

Happy New Year to all of you and especially Petros for putting so much into this group. I've been a little out of touch over recent years with other commitments, one being writing a book on the history of my old brigade which has now after many years of research finally been published. Modelling as also been a very involved hobby for me over the last few years and still is, one thing I miss is the modelling group on this site which for some unknown reason disappeared some years ago so was also unable to submit anything. I will endeavour to start adding a few bits to the group now as time allows.

Ed: we look forward to your contributions. Please post details of your book so we can buy it too!
