My old brigade, but we never had gear like this when I was in it. Trying to work out where these were taken.

When I saw the first shot, I thought wow that's clever, skirts fall over the sides and the wheels retract, a true multipurpose vehicle

Re: avon fire and rescue Griffon hovercraft.

thanks guys have a video but not sure how to post it. taken near Weston Supermare, on Sand bay or Woodspring bay, I was assessing it's capabilities for use in marine enforcement with Welsh Government within the intertidal zone, Price £250,000.00 approx. without truck!! know what you mean Daisy M, since I left last May, "we" are having a brand new patrol vessel £2-4 million, to replace the old 1960's vessel I had to use. Progress.?
