Land Rover VDJ319 had quite an interesting
career. It was purchased originally by St Helens Corporation Transport,
where it was
fitted with a large rubber bumper.and used
to shunt buses.
It then moved on the The Borough Fire Brigade,
and subsequently to Merseyside Fire Brigade.
After St. Helens it moved to Liverpool Airport
where it towed the boat.
