John Craddock liberated them and last weekend auctioned them off.&nbsp;I say strange because of the number of Fire Engines and in particular Forward Control Fire Engines. As the proud owner of a Forward Control 2A Fire Engine I thought I had a rare beast until this lot appeared on the scene! <br /> <br /> It was good to see another Tickford emerge but the size of the restoration required means it needs someone with very deep pockets. It also needs the expertise of a Ken Wheelwright to make sure it remains authentic.<br /> <br /> There will be a full report on the auction&nbsp; in next month's LRO magazine but the star of the event was the superb tracked Cuthbertson which sold for around &pound;46,000 to a German bidder. If only I had won more than &pound;10 on the previous week's lottery! <br />647
