Forestry Commission Roadless Fire Tender

History

The Dunsfold archive identifies the first prototype as a Forestry Commission fire tender. The supplied surviving-vehicle photograph guides the canvas proportions and grey-blue cab. Lettering follows the documented description; pump, hose storage and hidden rear arrangement are an interpretation of the requested firefighting equipment, not a verified restoration specification. Game handling is tuned.
