Scammell Trailer pump .
The renovations carried out for the VE Day event in London were purely cosmetic. Since then we have had time to look at the engine, and after servicing the carburetor and ignition system, it was started with some difficulty. A problem with the petrol tap and filter was rectified with the result that it could now be started with relative ease. The oil filter casing has a leak and will require replacement.The engine bay will need a good clean. One of the delivery valves has suffered a mysterious breakage to the spindle, taken off for repair.

FLE 213 Scammell Mechanical Horse fire appliance
This appliance is being stripped down completely to enable work to be carried out replacing and strengthening parts of the badly corroded chassis and hangers. This is a long term project on a very unusual and rare example of pre war 1938 Fire pump. Restoration work will progress as funds permit.
