Back in the 1980s and 1990s when I was a Retained Firefighter at Brockenhurst, we started to hold a vintage fire engine rally. This was done to raise funds for the Fire Brigades benevolent fund. We had pumps from various local stations plus preserved machines. This grew in popularity over the years. The pump pictured here is either Lymington or New Milton's which developed a fault when they were leaving at the end of the day. After being assessed by workshops it was decided it would have to be recovered and taken to Winchester where Hampshire fire and rescues workshops are located.
