AA 'rescues broken-down Red Dwarf Starbug' at Angel of the North as fan headed to Comic Con
The AA was scrambled to the Angel of the North after a sci-fi fan broke down in his Red Dwarf-themed ‘spaceship’, according to a PR agency representing the company.
The driver, Alex Dowling, was heading to the Glasgow Comic Con, which starts on Saturday June 29, to join thousands of others at the comic book and cosplay festival.

George Flinton, AA mechanic, from York, was “sent to the rescue”.
He said: “It’s not every day you get to repair a giant green spaceship that’s broken down on the side of the road! It was definitely one of the most extraordinary recoveries I’ve had to do in my career, and one I won’t forget.”
