My point entirely! Not many fire trucks in 1970s Feltham, then - or I am missing a closet Yank in our midst with 4 cylinders? RobertPlenty of them in Feltham because that’s where we made them and they ran down the High street a few times as a chassis to the factory and on the way to/from Chobham and other testing sites and to the shippers when it was finished and 4 + a dozen = roaring 16 not buzzin dozen.
I’ve just found a picture of my first encounter with a fire engine in Nottingham in 1957. I’m the little chap on the right. I’ve just googled the reg no. and discovered it has been preserved! I remember that day because we also climbed aboard a very ancient Leyland fire engine with a long bonnet and an escape ladder. Robert
