RAF Fire Service, 1980's

Post by Victor5 » Wed Jan 23, 2013 4:04 pm

I've had a bit of a mammoth negative scanning session and thought that some of you may be interested. There are a variety of vehicles, some of you will recognise them; TACR1, TACR2, Mark 7, Mark 9, Mark 10 and Mark 11/11A.

Nice trucks!

On image 8 I can just see a Bedford TKG, HCB Angus appliance poking its nose into the picture. We used to have a few of those on the run in Essex many years ago!

And there's plenty more where that came from!

Thanks for the comments.

DaveG, the lads at St Mawgan insisted that I take this during my visit. You may recognise one or two people (from December 1988).

If anyone is interested then check out these two threads on AiX as there is a massive amount of info on Fire, Crash and Rescue trucks on them.
