In the days of the Signal Dept being at Bollo Lane, the Report Centre was 'Base', the Chief Inspector's car was 'David', Whitechapel van was 'Clara', Baker Street van was 'Benjamin' and the emergency lorry was 'King'. However, I'm struggling to remember what the Earls Court van call sign was - anyone else remember?
