I first saw the tanker when collecting some Lancaster Bomber parts from the war time bomber command airfield at Methringham. A friend was restoring the old watch tower and had a collection of ground equipment including an 0854 tanker and trailer. The story then jumps on a year or so and involves to many drinks with a pal and a discussion about the tanker and the fact that Tim the owner, would never sell it. Well it turned out he would, and a few months later I'm the proud owner of a 2500 gallon fuel tanker.
