The London Salvage Corps had some old late-1920s Leyland open fire engines still in use in 1936. It could be that it is a Leyland Beaver TC chassis of about 1928/9. The front valance has been added later I think behind a flat bumper bar. It needs further confirmation or a better identification - no better than 50% guess at the moment. -- Last edit: 2016-04-09 20:34:37
