Corgi Trackside 1/76 Green Goddess RAF (DG221002)
The Green Goddess is an icon of emergency motor heritage. Originally developed in the event of a Soviet nuclear strike, the Green Goddess was a fire engine until its disbandment and more recently by the British Armed Forces during fire strikes of 1977 and 2002 (codename � Operation Fresco). These largely greenpainted vehicles were built between 1953 and 1956 based on an army truck, weighed in at 7.5 tonnes and had a top speed of 45mph. The Goddess modeled here was in use by the RAF fire service.
