A demonstration of the trailer pump drills and competitions from the 1940s using an Austin K2 towing vehicle and a Dennis No2 Trailer Pump. The aim was to draw up, get the suction hose into the dam, run the pump and use a jet from a delivery hose to knock down a target. Then get everything 'made up' and back in the van. In this video, our Fordson 7V Escape Carrier does a lap of the arena.
