Fire Engine Driving plus Green Goddess Passenger Ride
About this experience
Go off the beaten track for an unforgettable driving experience with a difference. This double-header will see you take the wheel of a V8 powered fire engine before hopping aboard the Green Goddess herself for a passenger ride in the iconic Bedford RLHZ.
First up is the driving seat. Your instructor will talk you through the controls before you set off. With its automatic gearbox and power steering, the beast is remarkably easy to drive. Set off with 240bhp at your feet. You’ll stop off to try some more complicated manoeuvres including reverse parking and the ‘wall test.’ Your instructor will be with you every step of the way.
Then it’s time to switch over to the passenger side for a ride around the country’s best-preserved WW2 bomber station. It’ll feel a bit like being in a film as you speed around in the phenomenal Green Goddess, restored back to its 1950s finest ready for a classic run.

“Put a massive smile on my face”
The Green Goddess was out of action but I was upgraded free of charge to the tank so I didn't miss out. I was the last slot of the day on a drizzly November afternoon but I had a great time. Toby was brilliant driving the tank, that thing can move! Mike was very informative about the fire engine and was obviously very passionate which was great. I was grinning the entire time and have some great photos to remind me. Loved it.
