1965 Brockhouse Trailer

1965 Brockhouse Army Fire Trailer – Coventry Climax Powered Fire Pump

A fascinating piece of British fire service and military history, this 1965 Brockhouse army trailer has been equipped as a period-style mobile firefighting unit, powered by a Coventry Climax engine driving a fire engine water pump.

Imported from the United Kingdom in 2019, this is a distinctive and historically interesting piece, complete with its period-correct firefighting equipment, offering a glimpse into the equipment and methods used by Britain's auxiliary fire services during the mid-20th century.

The trailer is associated with the era of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS), a volunteer civil defence organisation established in the United Kingdom in 1938 to support regular fire brigades during World War II and later throughout the Cold War. Units such as these played an important role in Britain's civil defence preparations, providing additional firefighting capability when it was needed most.

The Coventry Climax-powered pump setup adds considerable interest, combining British engineering with a practical firefighting role. With its complete period equipment and utilitarian military trailer design, this would make an excellent addition to a collection of historic fire appliances, military vehicles or British civil defence memorabilia.

Same wheelbase as a land rover.
