Hmmm... Dennis? (As those are quite popular among the UKs fire departments.) |

The registration is LL51ZNU. How many different companies make British Fire Engines at the moment? |

Scania and Volvo seem to be most popular in addition to Dennis or Dennis Fire, with some Mercedes. Cannot find them on DVLA for this registration. LL51 ZNU 'LL' - Registered in Stanmore, Middlesex therefore. |

The shapes of the side windows do not match Dennis, Volvo, Scania, or IVECO of that periode. It could be a Mercedes-Benz or an MAN. |

In my opinion it is most likely a Dennis |

The Dennis' have since the mid 1990s a rather distinctive side window design: Link to "firefleet.co.uk" The windows on this engine look different: ![]() -- Last edit: 2006-12-09 18:55:25 (antp) |

You are right it is different now, funny because the side windows is what me made think of dennis in the first place. ![]() What do you think of the Volvo in this picture: Link to "firefleet.co.uk" Quite a resamblance, isn't it? -- Last edit: 2006-12-09 18:50:30 (antp) |

The Volvos have an extra low door window: http://fire.kilkennycoco.ie/images/Kilfire11s.jpg I am not sure there is enough space for that window here. On the other hand if you look at this image Link to "www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk" it comes very close. Wheelarches, air vents, etc. Perhaps it is a Volvo after all. |

I believe it is a Volvo and that the low door window is possible. Compare a similar rear view of a Volvo with the front view of the same vehicle. The rear view is very similar to the Little Britain shot and the cab door glass would be difficult to see. ![]() |

Agreed, it is a Volvo FLH. |

also a Mitsubishi Challenger |

Its an old London's burning fire engine. A Volvo FL6 with the newer FLH front fitted |
◊ 2008-12-15 21:56 |
NO mm it's not a dennis, it's a VOLVO FLH. |
◊ 2012-01-18 00:00 |
This is Volvo FLH which featured in London's Burning Series 14, |
