Meteor Works

History

Alongside restoration and sales it sources, imports and ships vehicles internationally, and it documents its own fleet in an online garage. The company's exact base is not stated on its website, and it was not established during this research. Its recorded history is Royal Air Force service as an airfield crash rescue ambulance stationed at Air Force Leeming in North Yorkshire, followed by a transfer to First Aid Ambulance of Lytham St Annes in Lancashire. The type behind it is well documented. The Air Force version of the standard military ambulance is recorded in reference sources as FV18068, intended for the rapid recovery of airfield incident casualties and distinguished by a large front crash bar and a 240-volt shoreline socket that kept the battery charged for constant readiness. The route this vehicle took out of service is a common one: another Boxbody-bodied Air Force ambulance is recorded as serving twenty years at Air Force Catterick before likewise joining First Aid Ambulance. No source consulted records this particular vehicle's paint scheme or registration, so no factory colours are recorded here.
