Museum of London eyes Boris Johnson's water-cannon trucks

Former mayor's crowd-control vehicles sold for scrap after 300k loss to taxpayer

Parts from Boris Johnson's useless water-cannon trucks could be salvaged from the scrapheap and placed in an exhibition, under plans being considered by the Museum of London.

The museum's director, Sharon Ament, revealed to the Guardian that she had tried to buy one of the three vehicles outright after they were first put up for sale two years ago.
