Comments:
This vehicle started out as a fire appliance, a Rescue Tender.....it proved to be impractical and was replaced by a Dodge Powerwagan and the Land Rover converted into an Ambulance. Prior to this, Teesside Airport had used a series of Austin LD vehicles ex Dalington Ambulance Service. It was one of the very first emergency vehicles with an electronic wail/yelp siren
This was not a Carmicheal conversion, but an original Bates of Evesham, Rescue Tender Fire Appliance similar to the L4P's supplied to the Northern Ireland Fire Authority
