Model Fire Engine featured on Blue Peter (UK)

I'm writing concerning a large scale working model fire engine that was featured on BBC-TV's Blue Peter in the 1970s (possibly early

1980s)? The vehicle was about three feet long and featured a working pump, flashing lights and siren. The detail was incredible ? all the doors opened and the lockers were fitted out with miniature equipment ? including working fire extinguishers.

Question: do you know who owned this vehicle and/or if it still exists?

I've tried the BBC, who are either unwilling or unable to help. Hope you can help, and accordingly I look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards

Phillip Rhodes
