Things have changed in Redcar since I first set eyes on a fire engine there in 1953! It was a Leyland Cub PE with a roof but no doors, now housed in a museum in the Netherlands for some reason...
If you want to see its twin, look up the Newcastle City Cub on this site. The paint job is different, but everything else is pretty much identical!
Things certainly have changed ! Down to this one full time pump now and Scania Y399EBR (also at this fire) with a retained crew. Last few times I have been past there has been a Coastguard truck in the spare bay !

The sister of Redcar Cub is at the land sea and air museum on the old Sunderland airport site.
