Austin 1800 (British Airports Authority Police) in Blue (1:43 scale by Vanguards VA08912)
This diecast model Austin 1800 (British Airports Authority Police) is Blue and features working wheels.
Until the mid 1970s, responsibility for policing Heathrow and Gatwick airports fell to the British Airports Authority Constabulary, before disbanding. They had their own unique fleet of vehicles, including this Austin 1800, based at Heathrow airport, and several Austin 1100s. The car modelled was equipped with a PA loudspeaker on the front and a microphone in the cabin, which allowed the car to be used for the control of crowds, something that was a common and an important part of that particular force’s duty.
1:43 scale (approx. 9cm / 3.5in long) - made by Vanguards.
