London City Airport has donated a fire appliance to Operation Florian, a charitable trust that transports fire vehicles to towns in Bosnia and Croatia and trains local firefighters.
"It is vital that we maintain the very latest fire-fighting equipment," explained London City Airport's managing director, Richard Gooding.
"This vehicle is no longer suitable here, but it has several years of useful life in Croatia." - Meridian Line (Imogen Forster)
