Default Snoooorkel

Just came across these Humber pics that I have not seen before, The Wading Humber not only has the snorkel, but an extension as well! I feel sort of inadequate now.....Great shot though, with a good veiw of the uncovered rear framework. (Rick C, note the corner bars are flats, not round like the rest. All the "North South" fittings are in two peices for storage in the front rack when frame is taken down) I also note that the tailgate is open during the test to unload that extra ton or so of water.
Anyone know what the "61" on the door signifies?

KYW 98 is of course #2 prototype with the unsplit roof hatches. This was the model used for the Dinky Toy version, which brings me back to the source for these pics:

Some other more common photos on this site, and if you go to the following pages some nice Austin K9 pics.
