It would appear to be C/N 338, ex Lufthansa, Condor, BMA and others.

Still wears 'Hot Air' titles, quite appropriate given it's current role at a Fire School!

I always thought the Viscount looked smart in BMA livery, would look better if it was still in that :)

I didn't get close to it as you had to be escorted everyone once onto the fireground. From a distance it didn't look very well at all.

Isnt East mids a P2? I only ask as I recall when we bought G-WMAO it was at the same time as East Mids cab and the spec was pretty much identical...
