I'm Painting The Town Red...

Well, the hubs have been blasted by Howard and are on their way back. Very neat they look too! Certainly a huge improvement on what they did look like with almost 60 years of grime and muck on. Howard did mention that they are pretty heavy, though. They're made of tough stuff these Commers!

Looking forward too to a trip out this Sunday to collect some bits for it. Originally, it would have had about half a mile of faked out canvas (later plastic) 6 inch hose in the back. I can't stretch to half a mile but someone in Cheshire has three lengths, so that will do for the time being for display purposes. Also, I am dropping in to see another well know GG owner to buy a couple of collecting heads - these were used to enable hydrants of lightweight pumps to connect to a 6 inch hose; the Commer as a hose layer would have carried three.
