Richard so you know Steve Shirley then? was given a private tour of RAF Manston's sheds before the museum was set up. Was down there on a ATC summer camp at time, my dad knows Steve from fire helmet collecting. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 so you know Steve Shirley then? Yes Mark, Small world is'nt it . After restoring the TACR1 and the ex-Royal Navy Dennis F12 for the museum, I suggested to Steve to bring them to Beltring, probably 1996. While at the show, he saw the need for a co-ordinated fire service for the event and the rest is history. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Bertie I think your memory may be playing tricks. I assume you must be referring to OSDC Ruddington. In fact Humber GS Trucks reached £80-£100 & often sold for about £250 from the dealers. As for the pictures, I thought photography was prohibited.:nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
