Vintage fire engines attract the crowds at Stockton heritage show ??

FIRE engines from the 1930's, a monster car-crushing truck, A fire engine doing wheelies all attracted the crowds at a vintage vehicle show over the weekend.
The popular annual show took place at Preston Park in Stockton and as well as fire engines there were agricultural machines, motorbikes and classic cars.

Displays from more modern vehicles, including the Swamp Thing, a car crushing truck and Backdraft, the wheelying fire truck, were well-attended. 

Sadly the Swamp Thing got stuck to amusement of the crowd

The event was part-funded by The Firefighters Charity and there were also rescue and pumping displays from working firefighters, as well as a variety of stalls and stands.

Sorry but crowds not too evident on these images viewing the fire engines, all seemed busy watching what was going on in the main arena. The Backdraft truck and the Swamp thing drew the crowds in numbers.
