AY51 WOR This Mercedes ambulance is with East Anglian Ambulance Service. It is unmissable, with full sides of battenburg, reflective chevron markings on the rear, and a yellow cab.



The rear view. Look how the rear light bar contains blue for emergency use, amber for repeater indicators, white for illumination or reversing and red for braking or emergency use.

R852 YWB is a LDV ambulance used by South Yorkshire Ambulance Service for training transportation. Despite being made in 1997, this R-reg vehicle looks dated in livery and shape, and is an unusual choice for an emergency ambulance.

 

It is one of a batch of four that were for each of the four main towns in South Yorkshire. They were supposed to be front-line fast response vehicles with patient transport capabilities. Among the inadequacies that caused them to be abandoned was poor performance. This was unsuccessfully addressed by fitting turbos at great expense! The other three vehicles were sold or written off not long after their introduction.

YD04 MTV is a 2.5TD 4×4 Ford Ranger-based incident support unit, built by Ferno International Rescue Equipment. It is liveried as belonging to West Midlands Ambulance Service. Notice the winch on the front bumper.



The rear aspect. The rear can be switched between a major incident support, a hazmat incident support, a comms or an ambulance incident support pod. Or it can be used just as a pick up truck with no pod!

H807 LON This Land Rover Discovery has been highly modified. It has had a bull-bar fitted, 6 additional white lights, a big blue light bar, an air-intake snorkel and comprehensive roof rack. Strapped to each side of the rack are sand ramps, to help get traction on soft ground. It is an ex-Camel Trophy vehicle.



Note the spot light and large axe on the rear of the Disco. The livery is also very unusual. Yellow bodywork is covered with battenburg markings down both sides, the bonnet is black, the side windows have writing over them, and there is a Netherlands flag where the rear registration is usually displayed.
