Hi there
I have done a fair bit of research and I honestly believe the Londonderry fire engine only exsisted within the Matchbox Range of toys.
The only one which I have seen wich comes close is one I know of which used to be in QLD - but its missing most of the firefighting equipment.
All the best

The last time I spoke to the gentleman it had been sold and was awaiting to be picked up.
He also had 2 x Series IIa Fire Tenders (Army).
All the best
PS I tried contacting the Londonderry brigade but they seemed very vague about the unit as well. If you have any sucess would love to hear your findings.

do you know if the spare guards in the photos went as well?
Hi there
I have had these pictures for about 3 years - I have no idea.
But I have a few guards but live in SA - just to far away for a flimbsy alloy guard to be sent through via transport
All the best
