The vehicle proved unsuitable for this task as it was too heavy at the rear and caused problems with the steering and headlights. Later converted to a Light Four Wheel Drive Pump, it was stationed at Craighouse on The Isle of Jura and then on the Island of Colonsay. </p> <p> In 1998 it went into preservation and was kept at East Kilbride Fire station and used by the Community Fire Fighter at Motherwell as a fund raiser for the Fire Services National Benevolent Fund at station open days. </p> <p> The appliance was gifted to the Preservation Group in 2005. Rebuilding of the rear ladder gantry and hosereel mounting platform was carried out by Harvey s Garage in Renfrew during January 2006. </p> <!-- Actual Content End --> </div> <!-- Page Content End --> <!-- Footer Start --> <div id="footer"> &copy; Strathclyde Fire &amp; Rescue Preservation Group </div> <!-- Footer End --> </div> </body> </html>
