Im trying to find out some information of Former Appliances which have served at Pembroke Dock Fire Station Pembrokeshire.

On the 31st May 2012 we have our 50th Anniversary and inviting all former firefighters who have served throughout its history, which is a mammoth task as we are a Day Crewed Station (Some 289 names so far).

Is there a National Register of Appliances, and is it possible some former appliances still survive?

Many thanks for any help you could give me.

Dennis RS HPE 752V ex BAE Weybridge for Sale or will be scrapped
Currently with Serco International; due to a broken clutch is being removed from the fleet and is available at scrap value of £800. It needs to be removed ASAP or will be scrapped.
It is believed to have been new to BAE Systems at Weybridge (now the Brooklands museum site). As such it seems quite rare for an RS to be supplied new to a non LA brigade. Also it has a slightly different body & roof monitor.

I own an ex-Somerset Auxiliary Fire Service Matchless motorcycle and I am researching the history of my motorcycle and also the motorcycles used by the Somerset Fire Brigade/AFS.  I have been advised by a prominent AFS researcher to contact you to see you might be able to help in locating someone who might have a Fleet List for Somerset Fire Brigade/AFS for the period 1953 to 1968.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes, Dave Stapleton

Sorry not a member, but had many a visit from the Society at Southend Fire Station in Essex. Thinking well ahead the Station will be 50 years old in 2014. I am looking for some of the appliances that were stationed there. I know some of your members have appliances and I am wondering if they had any still about. Would you want the registration numbers or do you know of such appliances. Regards. Mick...
