AEC Regent Hong Kong

The AEC Regent fire engine were assembled at the Maudsley Motors Coventry Works and the coachwork was built at the Park Royal Coachworks in London. It was the first post war diesel fire engine and had a carrying capacity of 100 gallons of water, with the ability to pump 1000 gallons a minute from its midship pump. It could be operated with either a wheel escape ladder (pump escape) or 35 ft extension ladder (major pump). Like all of the models in this series there is an optional ladder that can be fitted instead of the wheeled escape.
