This rig later served West Alexander, PA. It is very similar to my P-8D. (http://www.aerochief.com/PatriotP8D.html)

GA Dave,



This is what I have on the West Bradford rig:



1978 Ward LaFrance Patriot, canopy cab, 1000/600/55, 4X4 pumper, Detroit 6V53, 2-speed automatic. This was one of two Air Force prototype demonstrators (military version P12) that were built (the other went to Linfield, Montgomery County). It was repainted prior to delivery. It has a heated (diesel fueled hot-air furnace) insulated pump compartment with covered booster reels. It was housed on 9/16/78. It was sold in 1986 to West Alexander (Washington County). They sold it in 1992.



By any chance would you or anybody else have a shot of this at West Alexander ?



Many thanks,



Bruce
