In recent weeks we have welcomed to the Group:-
Ronnie Farrington
who worked for the S&D Manchester Depot in the 1970/80's including
fire appliances. He wrote that he remembers taking the auto box out of
a fire appliance when it was on the line at CFE at Winsford having its
body fitted. “We had to modify the flitch plate. I think it had a
Perkins V8 engine and an Alison box in it happy days. There where
around 15 of them in a line and we had to modify them all and we were
on 3 days a week!”
And also Mark Taylor whose father, Bill Taylor, was manager of the Birtley Service Depot in County Durham.
