Duncan76 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hello! Welcome, too! I notice you are in Leicestershire -I'm just down the road in Rutland and own PGW 326 which was also used by the RAF in Op Fresco in 2002/3. I also co-own another ex-AFS vehicle, a Bedford RL petrol carrier, GYL 32C. After two years of work, PGW 326 is in a pretty good state and almost complete, and I do the odd show in the region over the summer period. The petrol carrier was a new acquisition this year from the Museum of RAF Fire Fighting (so a vehicle that you may well be familiar with!) which has seen a good deal of restoration progress this year. If you are interested, the blogs which cover their restoration progress etc are here: http://pgw326.blogspot.co.uk/ http://afspetrolcarrier.blogspot.co.uk/ Cheers, Duncan.

You just need to pay attention to what`s around you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
