BEDFORD RL NUCLEAR ALERT 1950s COLD WAR STYLE GREEN GODDESS

Its 2-00am on 10th November 1960, and the sirens go off - a nuclear strike on the UK is imminent. The AFS is mobilised over 6000 vehicles are rolled out as the mushroom cloud appears over a big city 40 miles away.
Sorry about the poor picture quality (there was a nuclear war on at the time !).

PS Please ignore the cheeky commentry at the end from Neil the camera boy.

PPS I would looove to hear from anyone who is selling a cold war air siren, to put on the back of the Bedford and take to shows for a demo ! Thanks.

whoever is doing that siren needs to check the rules- it needs to be continuous change of tone to indicate an attack and a single unbroken tone for the all clear. very confusing this one!
