This is a picture I like a lot. I was spraying in Southern Flevoland in the Netherlands sometime between 1979 and 1981 when this piece of equipment caught fire. I loaded the Thrush with water and when out to fight the fire. I won, but the vehicle was badly damaged. By the water! Submitted by Ron Handgraaf, Netherlands
