1997 saw the fire engine and a group of GVFB members set off from Plymouth to Spain. We wanted to take the Queen Eleanor to Los Heulgas Abbey where much of history began for the inhabitants of Geddington and of course members of the brigade.
From the time that we landed on Spanish soil we were given an enthusiastic reception, the Santander fire service hosted us magnificently and prepared us for the difficult journey over the High Sierras into Burgos.
