Essex Fire Tender
I found this photo in an old copy of LRO which shows a 1-Ton Series III converted by HCB-Angus for Essex Fire Brigade. Chassis number was probably 267/48, 49 or 50. RHD Export chassis sequence.
Does anyone know more?

Eastnor Castle Show 2012
Eastnor Castle show was the only opportunity in 2012 for the few remaining 1-Ton Land-Rovers to get together and but on a display.
I arrived on Friday afternoon after following a friend in his Series 1. I went straight onto our pitch and set up camp. A second 1-Ton (a series III) joined us on the Saturday morning, however by then all vehicles movements had been stopped due to heavy rain so my IIA was alone on the stand.
By Sunday however it had brightened up and dried out to some extent so we eventually had four vehicles on show. These were my IIA 1-Ton, two Series III 1-Tons and a Series III TACR-1 fire tender. We would have had more vehicles but one just missed an MOT appointment, and another two sadly couldn't make it.
Awaiting the off:
