Hi Lawrence This AEC Regent III shortened bus chassis fire engine belonging to Paul Pearson has been on the rally scene since 1976 that I know from personal experience. Ex South Shields brigade. I remember attending the 1977 Dundar Rally with my Leyland decker when overnight on the Saturday there was an awful lot of rain, Sunday morning saw the rally site completely flooded with the organiser tearing his hair out. Paul and his band soon solved the problem by laying out hoses down towards the harbour and coupling up to his AEC. In a very short time the site was cleared, these lads are proffessionals. Then the local firemen came along and complained as they would have charged for the service but that was tongue in cheek.
Cheers Leyland 600.

Well all I can say is Very Well done to the lads, I took this photo a the Red Row Show, The lads in charge of it kept all the young ones amused by turning on all the Sirens Etc, It was a good weekend turnout, It rained at one time, But it didnt spoil the Show, Im looking forward to the next one, God willing

Another interesting gem Froggy Canât tell you owt about that unit, but arenât the wheels called âtrilex wheelsâ? Donât know if itâs a yank thing, but there were several operators that used them on their wagons on the continent as wellâŠ? Mainly because it was much easier to change a tyre when one had a blow out or a punctureâŠ? Might be wrong as usual thoughâŠ

On dashcam, decent load oâsticks at the lights at the Longman roundabout, A9 Inverness, Tore roundabout before catchup, the DAF CF more than able for the job.
