Gee First Aid Services must be cashed up if they can afford to have a highly useful Landcruiser in there fleet maybe for tow the caravans perhaps

Well considering the $$$ that the royal show pay them im not surprised haha

And PLEASE nobody say first aid services are provided for free....

The Old Sprinter Looks like a ex PTV not that im being picky haha.

Thanks for the text Tom.

The pics look great (as always

). You are absolutely right about the pic. A quick study of the highlights in the headlamps and along the contours of the body and it is undenyably the same photo

Media cars as well Tom... you do impress

Is this an ex Ambo Sprinter?

Actually, just to answer that question as well - all of our sprinters are not ex-Paramedic trucks - they are actually ex-PT trucks (PT = Patient Transfer)

We have plenty more Tom - This one is based at Morley - and from memory - the Sprinters are replacing our aging Ford Transits and a few of our econovans.... - So I think in total so far - we have 6 - I think... And will be getting a few more I beleive.

The Kilometers are not bad actually - hovering around 125,000 there abouts.

Cheers MrG.

Red Bull Air-race is first weekend of November so hopefully that will attract a large emergency personnel turnout.

It will be - and I will be up in the skies for Saturday - flying the DA-20 Diamond - together with the other DA-40's - conducting an ariel display - and then will be on duty for the 3 days - Friday - Setup, and Sat/Sunday.

Should be a big turnout.

Would need to be a fairly hi-res to be reproduced on that display panel, though I'll happily stand corrected.

Was posted on this forum.

I'd like to know the answer to that question myself!!
