1978 Dennis D series was in service from 1978 to 1992 at Moretonhampstead in Devon, and the call sign was 271. It came out of service after being in a road traffic accident but it was rebuilt and repainted then on delivery back ran into the back of a car and never returned to active service. more like this @ www.britishfirerescuepics.webs.com/
Saturday, 14 October, 2017, was the first time I visited Winster just in time to make a pictorial record of a village local history "event" soon after it had happened.
As I drove down to the bottom of West Bank there was a crowd of people at the west end of Main Street blocking my way. A bystander told me that two vehicles had been on fire and the street was blocked off at both ends while the Fire Brigade cleaned up.
I parked my car and took these photos at two different times during the afternoon.
Fortunately, I understand that no one was hurt in the fire.
Two vehicles were completely burnt out and at least one other appeared to have been damaged. A nearby house suffered damage to windows.

Latest 2022 Case C recolour of the generic but entirely believable Matchbox MBX Fire Dasher. Matchbox do have several licensed classic Fire Engine castings in their arsenal but clearly this one saves Mattel some fees and to be honest, apart from the expected lack of chrome, is a well designed classic looking diecast. Mint and boxed.
I guess it was no surprise to see the 2006 Generic Fire Engine back in the Matchbox line up as its been a favoured casting over many years, so much so that half the Chinese toy industry make their own lurid copies! What did surprise people though was the recycling of this older yellow and black City Fire Department livery, i'm sure the MBX Team arn't so devoid of ideas they needed to do this!
Definitely an acceptable Matchbox "original" with believable styling and a body which surprisingly remains largely metal! Bought from ASDA back in November 2017. Mint and boxed.

Jared got to ride in the front seat of the fire engine, much to the chagrin of the driver. See next photo

Great to see new Matchbox Convoys twin packs available again in the UK thanks to Toytown who clearly have buyers at their head office who understand that collectors here want more than just HTI generics!
This is my first encounter of the MBX Mega Ton Firetruck and I have to say despite its generic status i'm extremely impressed. A very American style cab design blends well with its very substantial looking articulated trailer. There is obviously a high plastic content with the only metal being used for the cab but it all feels robust and the detailing and design are a big hit for me.
Mint and boxed.
