999 Fun Day, Sheffield, 12th May 2024
Firstly, on 12th May, we, once again, joined our friends at the National Emergency Services Museum in Sheffield for their annual “999 Fun Day.” As usual it was held in The Moors in the city centre. It was a warm, sunny day to be in nice thick serge uniforms, though I took my jacket off later. Not sure of the visitor figures but it was by far the busiest one we have been at.
Working inside the Headquarters vehicle.
This
year, we were able to make use of the Civil Defence Headquarters
vehicle which belongs to the museum. This vehicle was first used by the
Civil Defence Corps and, when the
Corps was disbanded in 1968, it was used as a mobile operations control
vehicle by the Coventry & Warwickshire ambulance service until the
late 1970s and kept in reserve by them well into the 1990s.
A crucial operational meeting in progress.
This very nice Auxilary Fire Service Landrover & pump was next to us.
