Fire Engines Photos

this has been bought by a school in Yorkshire and fitted with a snow plough to keep their access clear. Deal done via Atkinson Vos Ltd. Still has blue lights and fire rescue side lettering. I suppose school needs fire appliance capability as well. Described as U1500 not U1300. Extra railing also put round roof.

In this picture the Unimog badge is covered up. I have a picture of this and It is not a U1300 or a U1500, It is infact as on the heading a 1300L and that is on the badge

I saw this appliance yesterday at her new home, she is still at the school and looking in very good nick, the reg number has changed, but she still carries Fire & Rescue lettering and battenberg stripes.
