Thornycroft/Sun airfield crash tender.

I photographed this crash tender at the Batley Fire Engine Rally in 1986. Unfortunately I do not have any information about it.

Thank you Martin. If I remember these machines used a Vactrol system for foam production. At the same time all Manchester Airport and RAF machines were adopting air blown foam systems. I remember hours of debate over the benefits of both systems and never formed an opinion on either as to which was best.
