Title: Series II - Land Rover Angus Firefly
Post by: Ellard on May 26, 2012, 07:46:23 AM

Hi there all

I know its not Military - but another uniquie piece of Land Rover Fire Engines in Australia.

They were built by Angus Fire in the UK, and 4 were brought into Australia for Emergency Response duties for the Snowy Hydro Scheme only 3 remain in Australia,  these vehciles replaced the original SI SWB Fire Engines (yet to be found)

They are the fitted with the 2.25 petrol engine, with larger fan & oil coolers to assist with engine temperature as the 300gpm PTO driven pump makes the small engine struggle.

I purchased it from Lake Crakend Back resort, and need to stress its not been restored but refurbished.

Pictures as stationed at Jindabyne


All the best

Cool, thanks Wayne.......

Just need to find that Port of Melbourne FC, someone told me he knew where it was, (he was selling a FC himself) but somehow I did not believe him...

I have picture of the Port Authority FC Fire Engine - will try and find them.

As for leads, I like to investigate all that I am told about as you still hear of a few barn finds.

All the best
