It's a Customs & Border protection Service vehicle. No markings just lightbar. How about that. Never would have guessed. Have seen a few Customs vehicles around tas and they are almost always ford falcon wagons that are marked. hhh, it returns! The use of this particular vehicle belongs to the ...

Do you have any other pictures of the vehicle? or the location it is on? (looks like a construction site of some sort in the background) Does not look like standard issue Tasmanian Ambulance Service gear, most likely 3rd party operator of some description? industrial first aid etc...

Unsure as to what its like in WA, but in the eastern states most helitac or medical rescue/police helicopter jobs go to ex -defence force helicopter pilots, they seem to have (and this is no offense to any other helicopter pilots out there) a higher skill level when it comes to flying in stressful a...

Does anyone have any more information regarding what happened to Chidlow's units? specifically the light tanker... would like to know as that is my old brigade...

I can never get this one out of my head after hearing it

Can you see the number plate in the pic? all Tas Gov vehicles have Tas Gov number plates, whereas the customs vehicles etc use standard number plates.

Where abouts did you spot it? the only customs vehicles I have seen here in tas have been blue Ford station wagons, fully marked.

Ok, may have found your vehicle. Sitting in St john St, Launceston, was a Nissan Xtrail, with red only lightbar, it had markings but only on the front drivers and passengers doors. Belongs to Tasmanian Ambulance service, from most angles looks unmarked. Unsure as to what it does for the Ambulance se...

Most likely to be Parks and Wildlife, which is similar to DEC in WA, or Forestry Tasmania, who manage the forest plantations.

Looks like that SAW have won the contract to fly Perth - Cocos So we can expect to see a SAW ERJ-190 sitting in perth in the coming months Will be interesting times to see how SAW go on this run... interesting times ahead For a start who is doing christmas Island? does NJS still hold that contract?...

That was just what I was told, if you tell me that its wrong I am happy to believe that I am not arguing! There is obviously something that stops VB from flying international routes under its own name though, hence why we have pacific blue and V australia.

Alliance run F100's up there Since when do VB fly up there, i never see their EMB's over at INTL, and every one else that run up there leave from the INTL terminal, Alliance had 2 flight's one after the other leave the other day We are only speculating about VB flying up there, they don't at the mo...

the q400 comment was just the fact that its a nicer plane, not that it would be economical on a cocos run. I'm not sure of exact figures of the top of my head, but the front hold of a e190 is rated to hold just over 1600kg, the rear just over 1100kg. 1200kg of bags (working on 1 bag for every passen...

Yes, Solomon stopped paying the contract. One of the main reasons for this was because a significant amount of the money meant for skyairworld was going into getting cargo that should have come with the e170 onto the islands by other means. I think the same could happen if vb start flying to cocos w...
