Ignore the pointy bit from the Mirage IV ...

Emergency ie Fire Engine , outside the "Fire Station"
1976 Reynolds Boughton Chubb Pathfinder, which served at Kennedy International Airport. It is the only example in this Yellow colour scheme outside the USA.

The other vehicle is a 1968 Douglas P3 Tug.
The Douglas P3 is a 12-14 ton tug powered by a Perkins diesel engine with a Brockhouse gearbox. This example was used by British Midland Airways Ltd (BMI) at Durham Tees Valley Airport for many years. After being out of service for some time, the tug was kindly donated to the Museum by BMI in late 2008.
Restored to operational condition and repainted in a striking bright yellow colour scheme by the Museum’s volunteers, the tug is now fully operational and is the museum’s heavy-duty workhorse, capable of towing the Handley Page Victor K.2 Tanker weighing around 80 tons.
