So refreshing to see a new all red truck!

I’m with you on that, Rob! You can’t beat an all-red fire appliance! I particularly detest the battenburg markings preferred by many UK brigade theses days. And yes, I know it’s (apparently) all about safety, about being seen, but really? How often do fire appliances expose their sides to any imminent danger? Aren’t flashing blue lights enough? Fair enough reflective rear ends, but yellow and orange squares on the sides! Give me a break!

With that registration plate, it must be in use as a Magirus demonstrator!

Yes, Magirus has been based in the city of Ulm since it was founded more than a century ago, and the German emergency number is 112. The huge letter M on the locker is an additional clue too!

The truck in picture 43042 has the same number plate, so I guess it is just for fun, rather than a legal plate!
