Oh its of interest , but until he decides to part with his pride and joy, we sit back and wait, hopefully one day he,ll want some info or parts and we,ll get a foot in the door. He hasn,t wrecked it yet and he,s getting older, its still out there.

Oooh, a ffford? It must be a Welsh Stowage version.

So it is an F30? Thought I recognised those Ford Bolt heads!

Came across this one yesterday
While not a purpose built fire tender it has done quite a long bush fire service
