Any old iron...


Well, had a pleasant few hours chatting with Brian Burgess today, the owner of PGW 163 up in Manchester. A super chap, he served with the RAF during Op Burberry (the fire strikes) in the late 1970s, driving 163. Then, when they were sold off, he ended up purchasing her! Anyway, he had a few bits and pieces so, on the basis of you can never have too much stuff, I purchased a collecting head from him. Designed to allow multiple hydrants of lightweight pumps to feed into the 6 inch inlet on the main vehicle pump, it's quite a piece of engineering! It'll look even better when it's clean....
