Danny,
Do you have any contemporises at your current location?
If you do, you may like to swap stories.
As you can imagine, Steel Works are an easy target at night, and Teesside was lined with them during WWII.
You could also ask about the night 'Binns got hit'! My dad was driver in the AFS, based at Dormanstown, and his proud claim is that he had the 1st appliance on the Binns fire. Before any of the Middlesbrough appliances.
The claimed speed that he achieved along the Trunk Road, increased with thr telling.
