862/3YPU Leyland Haydon PEST Essex
One of the Firemaster pump emergency salvage tenders. They were allocated to Grays (862YPU) and Colchester (863YPU).
Note had front mounted 1000gpm pump. 300 gall tank, EPCO hydraulic gear. Full details in Fire Engines of Eastern England page 82.
The photo below shows quite clearly how the two door cab had the OIC's seat in the centre, with two side bench seats facing each other for the rest of the crew. This layout enabled everyone to access the center aisle body, like a classic ET of this era.

picture 38240 has some additional details about these two very unusual Leylands. Unfortunately they were just a bit too revolutionary to receive widespread acceptance.
