Manufacturer description

1:76 scale model of the Fordson War Office Type 1 Crash Tender appears in the livery of the Royal Air Force, as used at their RAF Station at Catterick, North Yorkshire. The Fordson WOT1 major foam tender was manufactured at the Ford Dagenham plant from 1940 and introduced to the military for multiple uses during World War II. The RAF used it extensively at fighter and bomber bases during the conflict and in the early post war years.

Our 1:76 scale vehicle is decorated in bright red and black with an RAF number plate RAF 108888. The 300 gallon water tank features black and white chequered pattern on the front and all the pipes are given a 'brass' finish to replicate the original. A final colourful detail comprises the Royal Air Force Station Catterick crest on the body with their motto Vigilance and Knowledge printed in gold.
