| On
Moors with Morris Commercial Ambulance 13AA13
|
|
This was the second
Ambulance at Goldsborough and also on SSQ at RAF Lyneham.
This is not the actual one but a copy of one on another station but is
exact.
Our BD Vehicles all had red mud guards to denote Bomb Disposal but the
Ambulances did not.
This is a vehicle of another allocation and is not of BD Sqn.
