The Friends of The Fire Services National Museum Trust
Working towards a National Museum of Firefighting.
Our
New Radio workshop
is now being set up by
Service Team member Neil Burrows
We are researching the history of Fire Service communications and would like to put together a collection of typical examples of equipment to complement our collection of fire fighting equipment and appliances.
If you can help in any way, for example with information about types of equipment used (past, present and - ? - future), what kind of equipment was used in which appliances, and in which brigades.
Or maybe you have examples of equipment that you would be prepared to donate to the museum.
If you can help this project along in any way then please contact me (Neil) at the Friends office or by Email via this link.
A miscellany of bits and bobs to be sorted out
A dozen or so items that have been sorted and recorded so far, including a Burndept UHF handheld from the London Fire Brigade, a pair of PYE Whitehalls (ex Hertfordshire Fire Service), and some (more recent) PYE MX293's and PYE PF85 UHF Handhelds.
Is this an ex-Fire Service Radio ? If so, which brigade used it and what type of appliance was it installed in ?
