This is one of two hovercraft that Gloucestershire FRS operate. New in 2008, they are transported on trailers behind marked 4×4 fire cars. They were fully paid for by Severn Trent Water.
The rear view of the go-anywhere craft. The top speed of 45 mph will help to rescue people, particularly in the flood-prone areas.
Been filming down at the #PierHead today! Fantastic backdrop of @RoyalLiver1911 talking all things #Motorcycle and #IOMTT! @AlpineCentreUK creating plenty of interest also! @BMWMotorradUK @PVLUK @Redtronic @Merseysidersp
This beauty of a @EOneUKLtd @MercedesBenz Vario is on the run at Lochgoilhead. This is one of many Vario chassis’ VSUs in the west of Scotland, this particular one being the 4x4 chassis, and one of the oldest. A very capable chassis, which sadly is no longer manufactured
#CVU enforcement in Oldham. Another vehicle massively overweight which will effect brakes and steering. Prohibited until items removed onto 2 other vans. GFPN issued. Pictures paint a thousand words.
