WA58 BEJ This Land Rover Defender is used by Devon and Cornwall Police. It holds the claim of being the most South-Westerly police vehicle in the country being based on the island of St. Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly.



The rear view of the Land Rover. This is the only motorised police vehicle in the Isles of Scilly. This stems from the islands being a low crime area: just 44 crimes were reported in 2010.

ECV 854V This is a Landrover Series III 109 which has been converted into a fire vehicle by Charmichael. It is part of the Isles of Scilly Fire Service’s fleet based on the island of St. Martins. It is a front line appliance, the only one on the island, despite it’s age of 31 years when photographed in 2011.





The rear view. It has no battenburg markings or even a stripe down the side. Two small blue strobe lights are fitted on the roof along with two tone horns and ladders.





A closer look at the passenger door. An old livery for Cornwall County Fire Brigade is shown, despite the vehicle belonging to the Isles of Scilly Fire Service. This is because the Islands broke away from Cornwall for fire provision and the vehicle has not been re-liveried. This made it the smallest statutory fire service in the UK and is operated on a 100% retained basis.

Ambulance Boats

This is the Star of Life, an ambulance boat used around the Isles of Scilly …



This is the Star of Life, an ambulance boat used around the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast. It was new in 2003 when it cost £260,000. The boat is vital to transport casualties from the many islands to the only hospital on St. Mary’s.



The Star of Life works alongside Cornwall’s air ambulance. When the air ambulance is not available, due to maintenance or fog for example, the sea-going catamaran boat can transport serious cases to the mainland at Penzance. It can travel the 28 miles at up to 25 knots.



Inside the 36-foot boat is all the normal ambulance equipment including defibrillator, oxygen and pain relieving drugs. It is manned by an emergency medical technician and a coxswain from the South Western Ambulance Service.



The boat has five pairs of folding doors around the vessel that allow the smooth transition of a walking or stretcher casualty from land to sea. The Star of Life replaced the Santa Warna that previously served the Scillonian archipelago.



The vessel at speed in the sea. It is fitted with a blue flashing light to help identify its purpose.

N117 FVX This is a Chevy 6.0 Litre Wheeled Coach Ambulance. The vehicle is an ex-West Country Ambulance Service vehicle and was based at Plymouth. Here it is owned by Norfolk Priority Care.



The rear view. It was used in several training videos for the Devon & Cornwall Fire Service and promotional material for the West Country Ambulance Service.



This is the same vehicle ‘naked’ after it took three days to remove the original markings! It is a rare sight to see an unmarked ambulance.
