"The other Leyland FT1 appliance (JH 2804), also based at St Albans at the same time, was used in the 1960's film 'Go to Blazes'." ..... "As far as I know once the filming was completed, JH2804 went to the fire station in the sky." - http://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number24740.asp "Going to Blazes was a fabulous comedy about a mob of amateur crooks that decided to rob a bank and their means of escape, something that had the right of way at all times on the road, was a 1932 FT3A model Leyland fire engine. Mate, this has to be the most incredible old movie, in colour, with the guys if I can recall in those magnificient Cromwell helmets, and tunics of the time, racing about the place in the most incredible fire engine you have ever seen. Needless to say, I am not going to tell you how the movie ends, , , , But the footage is to die for!!" - http://www.fire-engine-photos.com/picture/number1961.asp |

FT range applies to 1932-39 Tigress (although 1932 is possibly early for FT3A found as 1937-40) |
