Fire Engines Photos

Nice to see a photo of one of the smaller vans which often get ignored, but it's a Ford Fiesta rather than an Austin Mini Metro. The Metro van was very similar though.

So it is lol! For years I thought it was a Mini Metro lol! Must be getting old and senile, the pic was taken back in 1987. (The olden days to some)

if you look in the window of the fiesta van you can see a little yellow sign.. if I remember right this was the PETROLEUM OFFICERS VAN.. and even if my mind go's back that far!!! was it Roger Musgrave (smoking his pipe) was the PETROLEUM OFFICER..

The white Ford Escorts weren't just used by ADOs, my dad was only a sub-officer and drove these cars regularly in his role of a fire safety officer. Minivans were still in use in the early 1980s.
