Fire Trucks

Spotted this last week at Broke NSW




Not a fire engine now ......BUT

This Thornycroft Nubian, 6X6 was a fire tender at Mascot aerodrome , then finished its days at

Bankstown aerodrome , before being converted to the motor home you see, all the resto & build up

was done by one bloke & his wife , who, have lived & toured in it for the last 20 years.

What a unit looks awesome

Copied across from the events section, the 2014 HCVC Yarra Glen display thread.
All were taken on Sun.9.11.14, by me.

'Tabmarry' pumper. Google Earth isn't finding this place. Was it a name for use in tv/film?


International & Leyland


International history (probably the most-comprehensive such panel at the show)

I guess that this at least started life as a CFA fire tanker, and could well have finished in the same guise. It could also have been converted to a poison sprayer, or a fertiliser sprayer, or a septic-tank emptying pump.
