History of the Marks

 

Mark 7 to Mark 12A and beyond

 

On other posts I introduced you Peter Mitrovitch’s photos. They are so informative that I was inspired to create this photo history of MOD fire engines. I will start it with a duplicate of the previous page as the header to this article.

From what I can see in the photos, I assume that the Mark ? designation is an MOD identifier as the manufactures shown in the photos include Bedford, Dennis, Simon, Carmichael, Scammell / Gloster Saro, Unipower, Thornycroft, and latterly Rosenbauer.

Mark 12A Service Record

 

What has the Mark 12A been upto?

 Not a service history of when the oil filter was changed, but more a list of significant postings and change of location / ownership.

Mark 12A Vehicle Specification

 

Vehicle Specification for Charmichael Mark 12A

 

I am slowly collecting information about my Carmichael Mark 12A fire engine from a wide variety of sources. This includes the manufacturer and part and equipment providers. Where possible I have acknowledged the provider of the information. Frequently it is the vehicle itself that has provided the raw data. As it is a unique vehicle there is very little published information to which I can refer. However, over time I expect this section to expand and hope that it will become the definitive source of information regarding the Mark 12A. It is the elevating platform that distinguishes it from a normal Mark 12.
