Engine 1, Hanscom AFB, MA

1978 Ward LaFrance P-12D

750/600/55F

P-12-001

USAF-78L482 - First Test Article



This was the prototype P-12D. The Air Force called it a "First Test Article". After testing, an order was placed for 50+ more units, but only 34 more were built before WLF closed down. The booster reel enclosure may only have been on the prototype, I have never seen one on any of the production versions.



My P-8D, 78L481, was delivered to the Air Force at the same time as this rig. No further examples were ordered. These were the first diesel-powered structural apparatus for the Air Force. They all had 216 Hp. Detroit 6V53's with Allison automatic transmissions. The P-12D pump was actually a 1000 GPM pump, downrated to 750 GPM, per Air Force specs.
