Thread: Landrover fire fighting.

I seem to remember someone on Aulro who restores Series landrover fire fighters

I remember years ago having the job of helping Camberwarra RFS in the days before government funding.

They need to replace a current vehicle and my father purchased at auction a Landrover pumper which I got the job of driving it from Sydney down to Nowra and also helped in some of the repair work which was very little as the vehicle was in top condition with low mileage.

They didnt keep it , long as most of the drivers of it couldnt handle the gearbox and generally older tech.
It was replaced by a 80 series Landcruiser and government funded standard RFS trucks.

attached two pictures of it.

also there is another photo of a landrover fire fighter, which is in the family photos and I know little about it.

I suspect it was looked at as a possible vehicle for the camberwarra RFS as well.

I know these vehicles are few and far between and the pictures may be of some interest.

Regards

Ron

Yes it was Ellard.
He's possibly off on Facebook like a lot of people that used to frequent AULRO.

Photobucket issues have meant that most of his pictures on the forum have been removed.

Here he is.....
