NFS and AFS Vehicles Group

The Air Raid at Quorn Station went with a bang! A lone German raider dropped bombs on the train where the Hinckley Home Guard were unloading a valuable consignment of dynamite and weapons, and noticed some shady characters trying to steal petrol from the tank wagon. The Red Tops put an end to that!

One of the HG got hit by machine gun fire, and luckily the bombs didn't do much damage.

Thank you to Dave Edwards for the photos.

As we are all getting older, we are now past 'peak NFS'. The Fordson Escape Carrier and a load of small equipment has now gone to start a new life with the Norfolk Fire Museum.

To be honest, the Fordson hasn't seen the light of day since Covid, so it deserves some love.

We did a good bit of fire watching at the GCR Railways at Work, and had the RL there with a load of pipes.

We recently lent some equipment to a film company for a piece about the blitz in Pembroke Docks.

We have just heard that the second episode will be transmitting on Tuesday 22nd July at 8pm and weekly thereafter for 7 weeks. It has a new title which is Coastal Adventures with Helen, Jules and JB, so please look out for that on the electronic programme guide or EPG.
