Tray of Fire Exibition in Hyde Park Demonstrates Engine Power
Hyde Park hosted a morning show of fire engines from Liverpool and London under Royal Ranger approval. Teams from Watling Street and Jeffrey’s Square joined by 60 Coldstream Guards tested hoses and nozzles, matching Liverpool’s nine inch cylinders with a mix of smaller sizes.
