A brief history of the Vehicle
Built in WW2 as a ‘pool tractor’/petrol tanker, No.4 was used by British Aerospace as a shunting tractor at Brough Airfield before we bought it in 1980.
In 1983/84 the cab was rebuilt and a total restoration was undertaken including new windscreen, headlamps, dash, sidelights and a repaint. Extensive work has been carried over the years.
It had a major overhaul in 1998 when it had a rear body fitted, with an air compressor added for use on the Jets ride.
