A Few more pics from the launch of the FESA air attack fleet last Friday.

Air Support - Subaru.

Wanneroo Fire Support - Hilux Ute. Was towing a trailer for a 'collar tank'.

Oakford 9.2. This was supplying the 'collar tanks' for filling the Sikorsky Helitac 767.

Saw the subaru when I was doing my Cliff Rescue course at SES RHQ in Belmont had a trailer on the bank with a collar tank or simlair, was fairly big, too busy with course to get a photo.
