Kit galore?

Although it's been removed now for safe keeping lest the more light fingered relieve me of it, just a few shots of the kit that the GGs carried. Essentially, mine is as it was for Op Fresco in 2002 / 2003. GGs carry comparatively much less kit than modern fire appliances. Hydraulic-powered jaws of life? Nope - would an axe and crow-bar do instead? Amazingly, much of the kit is unused and still has paper tags with the Royal ER cypher on, complete with stock number. Some kit is still in bags.

PGW 326 also still carries the somewhat euphemistically named lightweight pump. This maybe the original - who knows - but it's certainly the pump it's carried since 1982 at least!

  1. Someone with light fingers has been at that GG, quite a bit missing.

  2. I do need to get around it with the inventory in the Fresco paperwork - what immediately strikes you as being not there?
