Pop Locker...

I took these shots over the summer but forgot to upload them! Essentially, I took them showing the lockers in their much more complete state with virtually all the kit deficiencies rectified, so the vehicle is almost in the configuration that it was for Op Fresco in 2002/2003.

Locker 5 - the tools locker - now complete with two axes, a shovel, a saw and a pry bar:






Locker 2 - this was pretty much complete when I bought it but a few extra nozzles now:


Lockers 2,3 and 4 - this mainly contain hose including 4 new lengths of Duraline for regular use as this needs no drying unlike canvas hose:


Locker 6 - this now houses the collecting head which is an 'extra' as GGs wouldn't have normally carried these:


Locker 7 - now houses a couple of deck chairs (not original!!) as well as the strainers as these have been displaced from locker 9:


Locker 8 - original except for the nurse valve acquired this summer. These weren't usually carried by GGs but are useful for show purposes when pumping in relay - which is what they were designed to do! The ground monitor is an addition, too - this locker had the storage holes but in the latter days weren't carried. Great for squirting lots of water safely! The hearth kit was a chance find at Witham SV (who sold them off in 2005/2006) - complete, as new and a bargain at £35!


Locker 9 - the gerry cans are still at the back as is the water container. This locker should house the strainers but it currently serves to store the oils and lubricants etc. The correct GG fuel filler funnel is new and was en eBay find.
