Alexander ◊ 2006-06-20 14:47	Possibly, if it is the same airfield. I guess they used real equipment for those scenes.

AMB-Ret ◊ 2015-08-13 16:29	Yes ambfan It is/was a Wadham Stringer conversion and was used by Bucks Ambulance service in the 70's and early 80's. I have worked on this vehicle on many occasions when it was in the service.
