BEDFORD RL Auxiliary Fire Service Green Goddess

[MrFiresub]

This was not a Green Goddess fire engine. In the AFS this was a Petrol Carrier. It was fitted with racks to hold Jerry cans of petrol to top up all the vehicles they had. the red plates on the front were for fire extingishers.

Hi Steven,

When I got the RL it was a 300 petrol enging which was a bit thirsty at about 9.5 miles to the gal depending on what load I had in the back which was usually my Ford 1900 tractor with an implement of some sort. But it was getting to expensive so I got a 330 and apart from the reduced speed which is an amazing 45 mph the mpg is 22 which is great. I will try eBay for spears and I will have to take some film footage of it. Cheers Jon

Interesting. The actual Green Goddess is a RL emergency pump. Your vehicle appears to be a support vehicle for the GG. Very nice it is too.
