Large field fire off Church Lane North Weald. Farmer says to driver "Follow my directions", driver follows directions, Mk8A goes off side of culvert into ditch. Driver last seen chasing farmer with crash axe! Fortunately still close enough to run everything out and extinguish the fire whilst at the same time frantic efforts to remove from ditch before arrival of Essex! Actually put it in 4wd and she came straight out whilst still pumping and Essex never knew! No damage at all apart from a bent bracket for the fog lights.
