"Abandoned RAF Fire Truck Starts After Decades Weve rescued something really special a Thornycroft Nubian Major RAF fire engine thats been parked up and forgotten for the last [--] years. Armed with little more than determination (and not many tools) we attempt to get this old fire truck started again and to our surprise it actually runs After some tinkering we even manage to drive it. The next day we return with the lorry to recover it properly and bring it back to the workshop. Once home we give it a good clean down and go over the list of jobs needed to make it safe and ready for use again."
