milfireguy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Hello to all the members of the forum. My name is Ted, from Maryland USA. I am a former US Army firefighter that served in Vietnam and Fort Riley, Kansas. My interest is US military fire apparatus from WWI & WWII. Want to thank all the forum members that have visited my website www.firetrucks-atwar.com Am also interested in information on the US Army Engineer Aviation Fire Fighting Platoons that served in England. Here is one of my favorite photos showing members of the 2095th Engineer Aviation Fire Fighting Platoon at Deenthorpe Airfield, #128 with their 1943 Ford-Oren Class 135 & Fordson Crash Tender. Quote
Gareth Coe Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Welcome to the forum, Ted Do you currently own a vehicle? I live in East Anglia (as do quite a few forum members) and there are former US air bases all over the place here. Lots of memorials too, have you ever been to England? Gareth Quote
