1957 Bedford "D" type [197 UXG] towing a 15' Cabin Cruiser - as accommodation ! - and loaded with an ex-Royal Navy "Mirror" dinghy that retired in 2001 [sail no.64887].

When this assemblage went around the main arena I watched with no little misgivings as it was getting windier as the day progressed, fortunately, nothing untoward happened.

Bedford "D122" 14 seater bus. Entered RAF service in 1959 with Bomber and Strike Command, acting as transport to deliver Vulcan bomber crews to their aircraft and general duties around the base.

When demobbed , it was bought by Sheffield Scout group, given the name "Spiney Norman" [hence the hedgehog logo] and undertook extensive travels around Europe.
SAM purchased it from the Scouts in 2020 - it features in an episode of the TV programme "Bangers and Cash" - and it was repainted in a suitable livery, whilst retaining Spiney Norman to honour that period in her history.

The Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) was first formed in 1938 in Great Britain as part of the Civil Defence Service. Its role was to supplement the work of brigades at local level. In this job it was hampered severely by the incompatibility of equipment used by these different brigades – most importantly the lack of a standard size of hydrant valve. The Auxiliary Fire Service and the local brigades were superseded in August 1941 by the National Fire Service. After the war the AFS was reformed alongside the Civil Defence Corps, forming part of the UK's planned emergency response to a nuclear attack. It was disbanded in the UK in 1968.

Spotted this a while ago on the sea front at Hove. I believe it's an ex-military Green Goddess fire engine.........converted to a caravan! I would have loved to have seen inside, but there was no one around.

In Pakistan, drivers decorate their buses and trucks to express their enthusiasm and the romance of traveling far and wide. This British-made "Bedford" bus was decorated in Peshawar, Pakistan.
