SALVATION ARMY
CATERING UNITS

Following helpful feedback [no pun intended], I have decided to group all the Salvation Army Catering Units together on one page.   The present four vehicles can all work anywhere in the North West Area that the Salvation Army currently covers and are not restricted to any particular Fire & Rescue Service.  It will also assist with future changes.

Catering Unit 'A'  J269TTX was seen on Winter Hill, 23 May 2010.
This vehicle is normally based at Whitefield Fire Station and carries lettering
for both Greater Manchester & Cheshire Fire & Rescue Services.

'A' unit J269TTX was seen leaving Belle Vue for the Trafford Centre on the 'Toy Run' 7 November 2009.

Bedwas bodied Catering Unit 'B' N665WVR was seen at Brinscall up in Lancashire, 17 June 2010.
This vehicle is normally based at Salford Fire Station.

 Catering Unit 'C' MM51OZP was seen high on Saddleworth Moor, Easter Monday 2009.
[The Nissan at the rear was FM52FYL from Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service.]
This vehicle is normally based at Whitehill Fire Station, Stockport.

Ford Transit Catering Unit 'L'  BL04NWG was seen at an incident in Freckleton, 11 J une 2010.

This rear shot of BL04NWG was taken at the 10 pump fire on Fleetwood Pier, 9 September 2008.

I believe that this was the very first time all four units had been brought together.
They were seen in the yard at Whitehill Fire Station, 24 January 2009.

Thanks to the duty crew for the latter picture which they kindly took from the Hydraulic Platform
