An intriguing turn of events....

I've had a look at the Fire centre in Moreton and found this video of some (silly) kids trespassing on the site. What it does show (surprisingly clearly) is the car numbers being 64681, 71515 & 64724.

so that does raise the question if 71515 wasn't scrapped at Eastleigh as I thought, what happened to 71511?

From memory, 71511 & 71515 were swapped when still in service, think 71515 was stored at the time and 71511 got damaged in some way.....
