Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group 
Well done to all those who hepled at Bridgeton Bus Museum’s Open Day
Many thanks to all those who turned up at the Group’s AGM last night. Let’s hope we go from strength to strength.
A big thanks also goes to Norma for laying on a terrific spread.
The venue was first class and thanks to Joe Harkins for organising the use of the Safety Centre.
Anyone up for a Christmas night out??
Hi Bob,
A night out would be a great idea, but only if Jimmy leaves the hat at home!
Hi Dave, what about a postcard to Keith?
have a look, any comments ?

Well done to all those that helped out on Saturday at Debenhams and a big pat on the back to Charlie Doherty for all his work with North Lanarkshire Council.
Splice the mainbrace and mines a soup.
Good luck Norma ……from us all.
keep the group going guys, and can you tell me how you can become a member?.have connections to the old Glasgow Fire Brigade then Strathclyde and have just become a retained man myself here in south queensferry.
cheers guys!
Station Officer Donnie Neil of Green Watch at Greenock had his retiral night on Friday 1st December at Gourock Bowling Club.
It goes without saying that the turnout was was incredible. Donnie is one of the fire brigade’s last true characters and a man who is held in high esteem by everyone who knows him.
Donnie’s management skills were legendary and diversity was his middle name! His use of foreign language precise and unique.
Donnie Neil will be a hard act to follow and a sad loss to the Fire Brigade.
On behalf of the Preservation Group may I wish Donnie and his family, a long, happy and healthy retirement.
Bob Wright,
Chairman.
Martin Savage, minutes secretary to the group has long been associated with the Scouting movement. At a presentation on Sunday 3rd December, Martin was awarded the Medal of Merit in recognition of over 25years dedicated service to the Scouts.
I,m sure I reflect the sentiments of the group in congradulating Martin in his achivement.
Well Done Martin. Ging Gang Gooly!!!!!!
Dave Adam
Group Secretary
One of our newest members, Ron Murray has just informed me that he got married on Saturday 11th November 2006.
On behalf of the Preservation Group may I wish Ron and Margaret a very happy, healthy and prosperous life together.
Might be a different story when Margaret regains her sight!!!
Re our attendance at Debenhams on Saturday 25th November.
The Group collected an amazing £872.60 for the Fire Service National Benevolent Fund.
Well done to all those who gave up their time to support such a worthwhile cause.
Firemaster John Jameson.
On Monday 11th December 2006, Chief Officer Brian Sweeney wrote.
It is with deep regret that I have to advise you that former Firemaster of
Strathclyde Fire Brigade has, this afternoon, lost his battle with cancer and
passed away. John Jameson was an outstanding ambassador both for Strathclyde
Fire Brigade and for the British Fire Service. I am sure colleagues will be
deeply saddened to hear of his passing.
oooooooOOOOOooooooo
On a personal note.
During my service with Strathclyde Fire Brigade I represented the Brigade in numerous Canal Marathons. The team from Knightswood Fire Station won many trophies at these events and we raised thousands of pounds for local charities by our efforts. John Jameson was always a great supporter and his style of encouragement was indeed unique. I can remember his pre event talks to the team, saying that if we did not lift the silverware then the return journey would not be necessary!
In 1995 Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group began its operations with the Brigade gifting us a Dennis Water Tender Escape. From that time until his retirement in 1999 Firemaster Jameson provided valuable assistance and maintained a great interest in the Group.
On behalf of the Preservation Group may I offer my condolences to John’s wife Helen and to his family.
Bob Wright,
Chairman,
Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group.
Wishing all members of the group, families and friends, a very Merry Christmas!!!!!.
Dave Adam
Group Secretary
What do you mean you want the whole day off, bah humbug.
Hope you all have a great Christmas.
All the best for the new year, hope it’s a great one.
ps Bob is now supporting that other well known football team, Callie Thistle, as well as his almost favaourite Partick Thistle.
Talking about Partick Thistle.
I have for sale a most unique collectors item. One signed Partick Thistle Football season 2004-2005. It has not been used except for it being banged off my head by a certain irate member of this Group! This is a must for anyone who supports the world famous ‘Jags’. Bidding will be fierce so get your bid in quickly to avoid disappointment.
Good luck and happy bidding.
A Happy New Year to the members of Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group.
I hope 2007 will be even more successful with perhaps a museum to fit out.
Have a great time and enjoy yourselves.
Splice the mainbrace and mine’s a soup.
hope you all had a great christmas and new year hope dave and bob have sobbered up now
Ah cannae speek for Dave but ah huvnae had a swally yet!
Dave and Linda Adam had a disasterous Christmas, the new dugs ate the turkey and left their greetings on the new laminate (£2.99 fae MFI). New Years dinner is roast greyhound but you’ve got to be quick.
It is with regret that I have to inform you that two of our members, Paul Cunningham and Norma McAusland have both suffered family bereavements recently. Paul’s Gran passed away at New Year and Norma’s Mum passed away on Sunday 7th January.
On behalf of all the members of Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group, may I offer our sincere condolences to Paul and Norma and their families. Our thoughts are wih them at this sad time.
Bob Wright.

Hi Gang,

Well done everyone.
Thanks to all who helped get the appliances cleaned up.
Paul says the F8 is causing him premature ageing and he isn’t driving it anymore (aye right!)
Eddie Gray is peeked out.
Dave Adam and Ian Chalmers gave a polished performance.
Jimmy Miller regaled everyone with stories about the Western Area and Davie McAusland got wired right in.
Martin Savage got brasso’d off.
To Claire and Graeme and everyone involved,
Thank You.
Remember if you’re free on Wednesday night (7th) and can spare a few hours to help clean up the new appliances, then come along to Renfrew Fire Station.
Thanks to all who came along on Wednesday night.
The new addtions are now beginning to look first class.
If anyone can spare some time on Saturday 10th March, to assist at Port Glasgow, then get in touch with either Dave Adam or Paul Cunningham.
Thank you to all who turned up at the General Meeting on Wednesday 28th March at Paisley Fire Station. I would also like to thank Joe Harkins for arranging the use of the Safety Centre.
Come on everybody start blogging
Hi Gang,
The start of the rally season is less than a month away and it’s time to get the appliances ready.
The F12 is getting moved from Port Glasgow to Renfrew, hopefully this coming week.
We also have to move out of Maryhill within 2 weeks and that means finding a new home for the Escape.
On Tuesday night ( 24th) I would like to get as many as possible over to Renfrew F.S. to help tidy out the garage and give the steamers and manuals a clean up.
On Saturday 28th April a clean up of the T.L. at Yorkhill F.S. is planned and if some of you can give a few hours then that help to get it looking good for the season.
Let me know if you can spare some time.
Reminder.
Committee meeting 7.30 at Paisley Safety centre Wed. 25/04/07.
dave.
Hi guys,
Would a retained L&B firefighter be welcome to assist you all with the cleaning of the TL at Yorkhill?.
stevie
Free to a good home.
Loads of fresh Greyhound processed fruit manure.
For details contact the Group Secretary.
Hi Stevie,
Thanks for your offer of assistance. We can do with an extra pair of hands.
We will be at Yorkhill FS from 10.30 onwards on Saturday 28th.
Remember to bring overalls and a paintbrush.
Bob Wright.
T.L. Clean Up at Yorkhill Fire Station on Saturday 5th May.
Hi Gang
I’m looking for a few volunteers to assist in getting the T.L. ready for this year’s events.
If you can spare a few hours on Saturday from 10.30 then please let me know.
Hi Folks,
I am going to be working on 999 scania on saturday morning from 0930 hours if any one could help it would be most appriciated. This machine is based at Barrhead.
Hi Gang,
On Tuesday 15th May we will be continuing with our weekly maintenance programme at Renfrew Fire Station.
The Fire Warrior and Fire Witch wll be in attendance and we’re hoping to test both the main pump and portable pump on each appliance.
If you can spare some time on Tuesday night at 19.00 hrs then come along. Remember to bring your fire gear as you may get wet.
7th June 2007. 7.00 General meeting of SFBPG. Safety Centre Paisley Fire Station.
All nembers try and attend.
Dave.
Hi Folks,
Could I ask for assitance at Johnstone station on Tuesday night so that we can work on the Fire Witch. 7pm 0nwards, Thanks
Martin
To all our members.
As you know, we attended the Preston Hall Rally at Yarm. The weather was truly abysmal but despite the conditions, especially underfoot ,we mangaged to pick up four awards with the TL, Fire Warrior, Fire Witch and the Landrover all winning prizes.
Thanks goes to all involved for all your hard work in getting the appliances ready and looking great.
July will be a busy time for the Group so if you can spare some time either to help on a Tuesday night or at any of the forthcoming events, then get in touch.
Splice the mainbrace.
Bob Wright.
Mainbrace is splished slashed p***ed broken damp!
Paul Cunningham.
For many years now Paul Cunningham’s ambition was to be able to drive the big boy’s fire engines. 2 weeks ago he at last managed to past his LGV driving test at the 38th time of trying.
We have bought him a special ladder to enable him to get up and into the appliances and a special cushion so that he can see over the dashboard. A supply of Abdine powders is also on hand to assist him in pulling and pushing the big steering wheel around.
The Group has also had to invest in a new chamois leather to wipe off the saliva from the windscreen caused by him making ‘big motor noises’ through his lips.
Well done Paul (and so you should be!)
Glasgow River Festival 14th & 15th July.
This year the Preservation Group will be back at the Glasgow River Festival. We will have the same pitch as last year – on the north bank of the Clyde in one of the SECC car parks. Strathclyde Fire and Rescue will again be joining us in what should be a great event.
This years theme is 120 years of firefighting.
It follows that a lot of work is needed to give all our appliances attending, that bit of sparkle. I am looking for as many volunteers as possible to come along to Renfrew Fire Station on the next two Tuesday nights and get stuck in. The more people we have assisting in this task, the better and easier the task becomes. The group has a membership of 42 and yet only six or eight people regularly turn up on a Tuesday night.
The Glasgow River Festival is an ideal platform to promote the work of the Preservation Group and also to show the people of Glasgow just what our Group has achieved.
Hope to see as many as possible at Renfrew Fire Station on Tuesday 3rd July.
Bob Wright,
Chairman.
many thanks for your kind words & observations bob with regards my passing my lgv2 however i must protest at some of the comments you have made with regards ladders,cushions,abdine powders,chamois,afterall is that not what you required after your fiasco at prestonhall after you got bogged down in the mud?????? profesional driver ayeright ya d****r
Bogged down in the mud. I think the pictures will speak for themselves for it is not me in the driving seat but you being ignominiously pulled out by a Council Digger (the shame of it all). Is this yet again an example of the ‘professional’ driver at his best!!
Perhaps with experience, the passing of time, and words of guidance from the real drivers, such incidents will cease to haunt you!
just wait till mr savage gets his fotos on line,wit a cheek,heres me thinkin that im helpin an old timer get out of a sticky situation,justice will prevail & it will show that awizny drivin that motor & anyway am a lightweight compared with the guilty party jist ask his good lady wife(ma pal jackie!bytheway) come on the bus drivers!!!!!!!!
The Guilty Verdict.
Guilty as Charged.
Caught Red-handed.
The camera never lies.
Totally Vindicated.
An Open and Shut case.
Members of the jury, I put it to you that the said Hank Marvin impersonator is indeed the guilty party. Irrefutable evidence in the form of the exhibit ‘A’, labelled ‘Who is this’ can be viewed by clicking on the link in the previous Blog posting entitled ‘Observer Says’ .
If one looks closely at the driver of the Turntable Ladder then all will be revealed.
What I can say is that he will be given a fair trial before being found guilty!!
What time on Tuesday night, depending on whether the Fiat decides it wants to start on that day.
The upshot is he’s definately guilty.
Cricky jings and what a farce,
Paul sank the TL in the grass,
Fat Boab says gie me the pale,
That yin Paul’s goin tae the jail.
P.C. Murdoch says hello,
And to the Pokey you must go,
It’s bread and water for you son,
And you’ll be there till day is done.
To sink the TL is a crime,
And you will have to do your time,
When you get out you’ll be dead old,
I bet this story will still be told.
The morale of this sade wee tale,
Is if you want to go to jail,
Just sink the TL in the mud,
And be like Paul, a silly FUD!
Hi all,
Check this out.
http://www.strathclydefire.org/news/
The Sentence of the Court.
The verdict was as predicted, ‘Guilty’. The Court found that it was degrading to refer to Mr Paul Cunningham as ‘Hank Marvin’. (By way of explanation, degrading to Hank Marvin that is!) It is therefore the duty of the Court to impose a new nickname synonymous with Mr Cunningham’s recent exploits.
Only the intervention of forces unknown to us could have resulted in the granting of a LGV licence to Mr Cunningham. The Court has decreed that from this day hence, the guilty party will be referred to as ‘HARRY POTTER’
Harry Potter! Should that no be Pansy Potter ha ha ha!
The Glasgow River Festival.
Well done to all those who assisted at the Glasgow River Festival. The weather held and a great show was put on by the Preservation Group and Strathclyde Fire & Rescue.
Special thanks goes to Norma and Davie McAusland for keeping Blaze Bear under control! Norma ended up a size 10 after hours in the ‘Bear Buff’. Special mention must also be made to Martin, Janette and David for their catering expertise in keeping the troops well fed throughout the 2 days of the Festival. Good luck to Martin for his forthcoming operation (to insert a brain!).
Well done to all.
Yahrr me harties and shiver me timbers. I’ve been eerring thats one of yer shipmates aint doing too well on the old pins. Well me an Jim Ladd and the crew of the old Black Sow had a whip round (more like the crew were roundly whipped) and came up with the ideal present to help steer Martin back to rigging form……a parrot!
She goes by the name of Olea and has rounded the horn with me many times. She’s a fiesty one who bites yer ear, swears like a trooper and s..ts on you from the crows nest. She doant take a lot of looking aftir just the odd nut from time to time and her plooms have got to be cared for.
Abast me cronies and lets set sail, take care of Olea and look out for her. The last look out that looked out for her got locked out the look out, so keep yer beads on her at all times.
Keep yer pieces of seven safe and best luck me old harty.
LJS.
Well midship my thawrts. Should that not read pieces of eight Long John?
Yahrr that be right Capn but ize got a hole in me peg leg pocket and one of the pieces fell out and has gone to Davy Jones Locker, so ize be left with just 7 pieces of eight.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of Buckie,
Poor old Martin aint so lucky,
Into hospital he did go,
His thing to the nurse he had to show.
She nearly fainted when he whipped it out,
And for the doctor she did shout,
Come here quickly she said with glee,
Martin’s got a wonky knee (I bet you were thinking something dirty)
The surgeon said just take a pill,
I’ll go and get my electric drill,
We’ll soon have you back on your feet,
Nailed to the deck, it works a treat!
We’ll cast off now for the briny blue,
There’s lots of things for us to do,
We’ll make some lubber walk the plank,
Or sail on down past Dogger Bank (behave yourselves!))
Dear Long John Silver,
The Surgeon gave me the pill and used an electric drill, saw, hammer chissel(they were jimmy’s blunt) and his voice sounded very familiar ,or else Davie McAuslind has a new line in surgical practice, “Yeah well take that bit of too” was heard to be said more than once,
All is going well I am black and blue and back at home, thanks for the kind thoughts from you all & I hope to see you soon.
Martin Savage
Hi Gang,

Fire Heritage Network UK Seminar and Annual General Meeting.
To all those involved in the weekend’s activities may I thank you for a job well done. The professionalism, enthusiasm and dedication shown by the Preservation Group members was commented on by many of our guests.
For me, this was the culmination of 12 years work with the Preservation Group.
I’m sure we gave all the delegates a weekend to remember.
Congratulations on a supreme effort.

Now look here chaps, I’m totally fed up with this nosense and even more fed up with people talking poo poo.
Poo poo has its uses but not here.
All too often this blog decends into poo poo and I’m determined to put an end to this wilful waste. From now on only poo poo passed by the Committee will be permitted on this site.
Don’t ever poo poo a poo poo
Dont listen to Blaster, the man’s obsessed with poo poo.
Life in the Imaginary Flying Squadron is much more rewarding. Got an iffy story to tell, then drop me a line. Remember, the taller the tale, the higher the flier.
Ah wis fleein last night, kin ah jine?
Its no fur me to say but a wance seen Tiree buying a round.
Do you take me for a fool ? I want only plausible lies.

Hi Martin,
It was last Saturday, did nobody tell you about it. You missed a great night out – free bar all night and a buffet to die for.
Dear Mr Always,
Santa is going to visit you in the middle of the night and take back your Thistle Football as you don’t deserve it!
Yours in Hate
Martin
Tug Flying Phantom.
Following the tragic news of the sinking of the Clyde Tug ‘Flying Phantom’ on Wednesday 19th December, and on behalf of Strathclyde Fire Brigade Preservation Group, I would like to convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families and friends of the crew members lost on the Flying Phantom.
Built on the Clyde in 1981 as a firefighting and harbour tug, The Flying Phantom will long be remembered for the sterling work she done on the River and for her attendance at the Fire and Water Festivals where she thrilled thousands of spectators with spectacular displays using her firefighting monitors.
Bob Wright
Chairman,

A very Merry Christmas to all in the Preservation Group.
Mr Chairperson, Given your reputation for being misguided and right and left hand not being able to find any thing, says Jackie! Please supply Longatude & Latatude or an eight figure map reference for the afore mentioned rendevous point? Have you contacted the resitnce, Jackie, for approval of the mission or the high command, Norma, ?
PS Mr Potter we in the Flying Corp do not wear wellies but flying boots, one man for the use of/ sheep one for the use of.
With reference to your request for a reference I enclose the reference requested below, referenced to the greenwich meridian at 12 o’clock high.

This may give you some idea of the locus, please note however that the minimum flying hight above the city is 1500 feet.
As long as Greenock passport control have agreed your status you may leave the Kingston bridge on the first exit, into Bothwell street.
Avoid asking some of the locals (working girls) for directions, as a genuine request will be replied with the comment “yu takin the piss pall”.
Those approaching from the East, with clean passport are automaticly electronically monitored and weighed as the leave the city boundary, and you thought the the pot holes were just there by accident….
Bothwell Street in Glasgow aint so hard to find, just ask the Brylcreem Boys for directions!
Right, pay attention chaps. The briefing for Saturday Night is as follows:-
The festivities will commence at 19.00hrs with cocktails and small talk.
Blazers (complete with squadron motif) and flannels will be worn with trousers pressed to a razor sharp edge.
Berets are optional but medals will be worn.
After drinks we will enthral the parade with tales of unrivaled heroism and Fokkers who tried to shoot us down.
Be smart, be punctual and be there.
Silly old Fokkers.
G’Day Mates,
Strewth, heard there was a bonzer bash on at Wetherspoons on Saturday night.

There are already many exciting projects and events on the horizon for 2008. It would appear that the group is developing and expanding, and it looks like there is a lot of hard, but enjoyable, work ahead and I am sure our members will rise to the occasion as they have done in the past.
Wishing all group members, friends and family, all the best for 2008 and look forward to a great year ahead.
