I was recently made aware of an auction of a fire pump trailer. After a bit of internet research, I believe it to be a Coventry Climax FSM trailer pump. Would you agree? How hard are ignition parts (as that's what appears to be missing) to find? It's located in the United States, so it must have had a very interesting life! ~Robert

Hi All, I've been going through my Saracen, getting it ready for registration and conducted a bit of an audit of the fire extinguishers today: It is currently fitted with 5 of the BCF (Halon) bottles, NSN: 4210-99-881-4724, all of which were manufactured in the early 80s.

I would prefer something that fits in the standard brackets, but I don't mind if they are red civilian type bottles, as long as they get the job done in the event that they have to be used. I am also considering installing a "fire bomb" fixed suppression system. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with these in AFVs? Thanks, Terry
