Window Shopping...

Well, a small crowd of us visited LW Vass this morning to see what they had and what they'd salvaged from the recent closure of Williamsons up in Oldham. They don't usually open on a Saturday but Peter, their fire equipment sales manager, kindly agreed.

We had a good couple of hours mooching through the stores which contain a whole range of equipment and spares ranging from brand new, modern equipment to older ex-AFS green goddess stuff. In the case of the latter they have most normal kit ranging from suction baskets to nozzles to webbing belts and axes to first aid hoze nozzles to brand new featherweight pumps in boxes! They also have a large number of what has been the holy grail in the GG world - ex-AFS ground monitors.

Well worth a visit, although much of this older stuff won't appear on the web so a call or email to Peter is best!

This is this morning's shopping basket - a hydrant key, webbing belts and axe holders, electric gloves, spare seals, blanking cap for the stand pipe, male-to-male and female-to-female couplings, spare hose bandages. Oh, and of course - another ground monitor!
