    Hi there Digger

    garford will be registered for the first time since 1959!!
    Send me pictures of the Garford - this was an ex MFS Hose Carrier from record?

    but did Woomera have those on hydrants? (I recall carrying 3 hydrants on andamooka 24, one for roxby (wmc fitted), one for most 'normal' places and one for woomera?? or have i got it arse about?
    Woomera, Roxby Downs/Olympic Dam & Andamooka has different (And still do) Hydrant standpipe fittings than the rest of SA.

    All the new Rural Trucks are using storts fittings (not sure of the spelling)..........but all the heavy pumpers are still using London Round (MFS & ESO's) - I am not that old but I still preferr old school.

    All the best

    Wayne

    Great pickup Wayne.

    Stortz I think. And I prefer BIC couplings as they're so easy to use.

    Not sure if it helps, but all defence units utilise BIC the same as the airports unlike the RFS across the country which tend to used Storz or screw couplings.


    Cheers

    never seen a BIC conector before.
    the camlock version of this idea is the normal conection for allmost everthing industria,lwe use this for everthing at the council.

    this could be a worry as its used for fuel oil chemicals and water.

    almost all conections around hear are storz or on big buildings are the old NSW Fire brass hoses.
    one coment recently in training was that most house holds are using 50MM on tanks and portable pumps but fire truck suction are 65mm.

    this isnt an issue for me as ive always carried a variety of 2inch fittings to fit into farm plumbing.

    the water utility locally use a different thread for their stand pipes.im guessing its a 80mm thread this is to stop people using these to fill swiming pools---but most people borrow the fire standpipes..

    Movie "High Flight"

    On Sunday arvo on 7two, the UK movie "High Flight" High Flight (1957) - IMDb

    There were several very fleeting glimpse of S1s. I think there was an 80 windscreen & several S1s with Hardtops with tropical skins. There was also 2 very quick views of 1. maybe a jeep or 80 fire engine, 2. I'm fairly certain an 80 fire engine. Didn't have record avail on the TV I was watching
