Fire Engines Photos

Must be going back a bit Scania 80/81 when do we see them nowadays.
All the best Andrew.

Out of interest; is there much difficulty in driving the older retired engines on British roads ?
I would presume they have to be registered, insured and pass the MoT vehicle inspection?
Is there a special classification for antique vehicles?

Great photo, Phil; appears all are heading off for a fun trip.

Phil, could that ERF/HCB Angus Pump Escape be RHN 999L?, do you know whether that appliance was ever preserved?.I came up to the Duxford Fire Show a couple of times, last being in 1991, what a brilliant show that was, its well remembered.
