1969: New AMBULANCE put to the Test | Tomorrow's World | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

"Only too often, ambulances are not originally designed to do their specialised job."

Richard Bebb narrates a short film about a new ambulance, which - rather than adapting the chassis of an existing vehicle - has been designed from scratch, over a period of two years, to meet Health Ministry recommendations.

How will this new vehicle fair when responding to an emergency? In Surrey, a mock road accident has been set up, to find out.
