Oshkosh Fire Truck Norfolk: UK July 2013

Not quite a vehicle graveyard this time and no epic setting like a mine or a tunnel. Just an abandoned fire truck.

Why is a US fire truck left on an abandoned air base in Norfolk?

I am unsure but it originates from RAF Mildenhall.

It seems to be in perfect condition and I guess it is fully functional. The airfield is still used from time to time, by the USAF so I guess it is here for emergency purposes.

I believe this fire truck to be an Oshkosh P19 4x4 with a 400 BHP diesel engine.
