The Thorneycoft Fire Appliance seen in this picture was crewed by Derek Tustin and Vic Harby for the show at Connon Hill Park. This vehicle was the first of two which are privately owned now after many years service at B.H.X. and other Airports. One (Fire 4) is on shows in differant parts of the country, the other is under repair in the Midlands.

Note that both the Nubian and the Bedford Ambulance being new, were fitted with two-tone horns and the old Bedford Pump has a siren.
