The record

The Barracuda is the later of Reynolds Boughton’s airfield appliances and the one still in service abroad; the registry records it here rather than leave the company’s fire-appliance work at the Chubb Pursuer, but has found no published figures for it.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
