Mancunian airman Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) As usual before asking for information, I looked on the Internet to try and find details of the equipment carried by this vehicle. I presume on the flatbed there would have been a pump of sorts but I dont know about a water tank ?? Can I presume it hitched up to a hydrant and simply pumped water ? To give you some idea of the period vehicle I am looking at, here is a model which doesnt give much in the way of details . . . .http://www.scalemodel-photos.net/picture/show/4751/RAF-Karrier-Bantam-domestic-fire-tender I can see there is a ladder but dont know much else. I believe this particular model of Karrier Bantam was used into the 1950's on RAF stations I have the trailer from Oxford diecast Thanks in anticipation Ian Edited February 26, 2018 by Mancunian airman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcastle Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Ian I believe Les Freathy built a model of one of these some time back. Also have a scale plan of the flatbed around somewhere. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I have been informed that Geoff lacey has a plan of this vehicle but where to contact him ? Is he still around ? I think somewhere along the corridor of my mind there is a cupboard that reminds me that they were passed on to John Church ? Can anybody clarify this please ?? Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcastle Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ian That may be the plan I have - at least of the base-vehicle. Let me check on the weekend (busy at hospital today and tomorrow. If it is I will scan and PM to you. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thank you Tim for the plan you sent through, apologies for the late response, I'm not always at my house . I am currently of a mind set to build numerous vehicles and I have been after the said plan because I know that this particular vehicle was at my local RAF station. I was carrying out at audit (checking the stash) when I came across this little gem . . . I dont know how many years I have had this but I was pleasantly surprised. I dont think I shall use it for my actual build, I have the Langley Bantam Bin lorry kit that I can build as the Domestic tender vehicle because I now know whats on the back, on the flatbed !!
