The two Volvo pumps look identical to North Wales' Volvos. I thought it was just North Wales had this style of Volvo.

That looks more like a Chevy or a GMC than a Ford.

Not sure what station the other appliance is allocated to as gostone has only ever been a one pump station with 2 specials.The GMC Rescue tender has gone now as well and in its place is an Incident Repsonse Unit the other vehicle allocated to this station is a water carrier.

That on the left is T868 RCF a Reigate appliance no doubt just visiting whilst the Godstone appliance is KV51 CXB. The photo would have been taken no later than 2004 as the GMC RT was sold soon after.
