These two talk a lot of shite. They should be on here ;-). They do lazy spotting though.

interesting to see how the London Fire Brigade where still using a mid 1960s AEC Firetruck in the mid to late 80s, im guessing it was a similar case to the Routemaster of either "it aint broke" or "we cant find a suitable replacement"

 

speaking of Routemasters I cant help but notice the London Transport type indicator ears on the fire truck, I wonder how those got there, I think its the first time iv seen a pair on something non London transport :)

 

edit: bonus invacar at 7:41 and 8:33 too  :mrgreen:

 

extra edit: EYX 248C looks to be SORN so at least one of those lovely sounding AEC Firetrucks have survived it seems :)

I suppose a spares bin was used. Make no sense to use something new when off the shelf was pennies to purchase.

yeah but I would of expected the type of indicators you see on EYX 248C (those side mounted crescent moon-ish looking affairs)

 

esp given until now id never seen LT type indicators on anything other then a London Transport bus :) so id assumed it was something bespoke for London Transport

AEC built the RT before RMs Both had the same indicators.

Maybe the type was London specific. As this version of the same TT appears to use different indicators.

Having just read up quickly, on WiKi, the history of AEC and the British lorry/coach builders under the umbrella of BL/Associated Commercial Vehicles (ACV). Is quite interwoven. It would be easy for the companies to use many parts from other brands.
