Description
The inscription on the side of this release reveals the background to a most unusual livery on the Mobile Canteen. In real life this vehicle was presented to the National Fire Service (Fire Force No. 10) by the Membership of the Order of the Eastern Star, Manitoba, Canada. The Order is reputed to be the largest fraternal Masonic-type organisation in the world, open to both men and women. Founded in 1922, it seeks to help organisations not only in Canada but worldwide. The UK's NFS obviously received this vehicle from the OES in Canada.
Decorated in mid grey with white lettering, the chassis and the integral tow-hook are painted black. The model is registered GJJ 815 and added detail includes the moulded door with silver door handles on one side with a serving hatch, both of which are non-opening.
