Re: Fire trucks
Quote:
A Morris Commercial 15cwt, looks like a CS8 (six cyl engine), by the aero screens and open cab, but the brush bar is more like a C4 ( four cyl engine). It is possible that late CS8 had this type of bar. Looks like it belonged to the AEME fire brigade, all I can say is that it appears they built it themselves Richard |

Not Air Force related but of interest nonetheless to our merry band of brothers. These two views are of a royal Canadia Army Service Corps fire truck before getting kitted out.

Thanks Clive:
1937 Ford with interesting rear wheel equipment. Rather rare to see that size vehicle with single rear tyres/wheels.

A Hearse?
Hello,
Isn't that a hearse, not a fire engine? I believe the pegs sre there to hold the coffin in place. No need for dual rear tyres, with just a coffin to carry. Regards Nick Balmer |

Yes it does

I have some other detailed photographs of this fire tender, The trailer carries a Jupiter pump built by GM-H. The truck is of course a C15A. Tomorrow I'll post a couple with the nomenclature. Cute, isn't it.
