  1. 🔥🚒🇬🇧 Collection of vintage fire trucks, left abandoned in old farm buildings

    These types of vehicles are more typically called “airport crash tenders” rather than “fire trucks/engines”. An airport crash tender is a specialised fire engine designed for airfield use.

    These are 1970s/1980s Denis-Thorneycroft Nubian Major trucks. They were retired in the 1990s, replaced by the next generation of firefighting trucks.

  5. Jen and I went to lunch today with my father and my siblings and their families. It was very nice to have everyone together. I took a couple of pictures on film so I’ll probably find out if they came out or not in a few years. You know how film is.

    Bellana and Harry are out with their dad right now. They will eventually be coming to our house for dinner. Harry goes back to Vermont tomorrow, but Bellana is going to stay with us for a couple of days. Each of them being here for a few days is the best gift ever. I’m very happy to see them, whenever I get to see them.

    Here’s a few random camera phone pics from throughout the day so far.

    I ran a couple of errands this morning. One of them was topping off the gas tank in the car. Obligatory gas station pics:

    Do cats celebrate Father’s Day too? Is Robin watching through the window, waiting for her dad to show up? Probably not.

    Our neighbors might not be having the best Father’s Day. I thought I saw one of the firemen holding a carbon monoxide detector. I’m guessing they didn’t find anything as the truck was only there for about 10 minutes. Here’s hoping all is well for our neighbors across the road. Fingers crossed.

  7. #Trucks #FireEngine #Old #Youth

    The all famous (and controversial) #Jeremy_Clarkson once said that in his youth one could easily recognize a fire engine because it was a big chunky red truck that was labeled "DENNIS" on the front.

    That in mind, here's how to recognize a typical fire engine of my youth. It's a big, slightly rounded red truck with a white band on it's side that says "FEUERWEHR".

    A quick sketch of a fire engine in profile. Notes on colors ("red," "white," "yellow," etc.) as the truck was from another firehouse, loading equipment, and I knew I'd have to paint the ink sketch after it left.

  10. Grave of William Robertson (1800-1847) the Superintendent of Fire-Engines.

    Carved by James Wood and erected by the Glasgow Fire Brigade, it has a delightful and detailed mid-19thC Glasgow Fire Engine.

  12. Fire engine was crewing up, then roaring out the Tollcross station as I was walking home. My geek brain decided to play the Thunderbirds theme in my head while this was happening.
