But, for me, the most intruiging was this - the bare bones of (what I think is) a Dennis 'Big Four' - I didn't have the opportunity to hang around - more's the pity - but it was very interesting...

Here's a few more of the old Dennis - don't know if it was a fire engine originally - I know Dennis made trucks during WWI (have a look at the HMVF site restoration in the UK - thanks Richard!!!!!) and WWII, but did Dennis make military trucks in the inter-war period?

Warren,

I don't think Dennis did produce any ( or possible the odd one) lorries for the British military in the inter-war period, apart from any vehicles carried over after WW1 still in use. They were back supplying the HM Governement during WW2 though.

I have a Dennis service manual, possibly dated early 1920's which came out of an army workshop library over here in the 1970's. Often wondered how it got there as the establishment only dated from 1939. It is for 2 1/2, 3, 4, and 6 ton models.
