Possibly one of the old appliances from Forrestfield training center? Can't remember if they still have all the FESA stickers still on them but I know they still have a couple of old dual cab land rovers.

This was a single cab Landrover with a white front end.

Its been here for a while, never had a chance to snap a pic of it, it went into service some time ago, but here is the latest addition to the ASA Perth Airport ARFF fleet.
Expect to see the Panthers in this colour as well.

Tender 5 was the vehicle, and it is still there at the fire station used as a operational spare.
DRV = Direct Response Vehicle.

Are the DRV's used as the first vehicle of response to incidents outside the airport fence, but still on airport land?

Tender 5 is the Austral, the old square one, since 6 wet into service, 5 has been 'abandoned' in the bush next to VH-JJT

The whole country should be moving to lime, i saw a lime MK8 panther at the airshow, Darwin has lime panthers.

Yes, it saves trying to get the MK8 panthers out onto the road, where thy are not really made for, not to mention all the gates WAC are building, with out consulting regarding the width...

VH-JJT is a S.O.C.A.T.A.-GROUPE AEROSPATIALE TB-21 and from what I can see yesterday 5 hasn't been 'abandoned' next to the old Ansett BAe 146-200, in fact I didn't see it at all! Then again I was looking at the 146...
