Indeed Vic similar but different stories if I find out more I'll let you know. I think to be able to print the story i have to join the newspaper archive so will think if i can do this. Obviously I'm a pensioner myself now at 70 so dont want to buy monthly subscriptions unless i'll use it a lot. Cheers!

I think when I did it I joined for one month and just got all the stories I needed in that time - check it out you might well be able to still do this, I think it was about £10.

Hi Lyn

I believe they were taken to the new station and are on display in the board room. I was told this a few years back when I found out that they were closing the station on Ettington Road - I must drop them a message to ask that this actually happened. I doubt they were lost or misplaced as they were a big deal to the brigade due to the history of Albert.

Regards
Vic
