Emergency light please for Abercynon Fire Engine
« on: Wednesday 23 April 14 10:54 BST (UK) »
Hi to all you kind Rootchatters.
About two years ago I submitted this photo as a black and white for colouring which someone I can't remember who, done an excellent job, but it was pointed out the other day as a slight error that the beacon light on the roof had been coloured red also. So is there a kind person there that can change it from red to blue.
Many thanks in advance,
Retpara

You may find a very similar Fire Engine at:

The British Commercial Vehicle Museum, Leyland Lancashire.

It may be worth dropping them a line.

Would the Leyland Museum have a Dennis fire engine?

Ooh, the Dennis society have a list of preserved Dennis Fire Engines too - that's interesting:

(I couldn't see that registration number on the list)

I've found a picture of a very similar Dennis Fire engine at The British Commercial Vehicle Museum:
