ted angus Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) top shot the left hand Vehicle is an ex RAF Bedford Miles water tender, the right hand vehicle is a Bedgford SHZ 4x2 ex Green Goddess ; these were supply ex UK AFS to the Cypriot Fire Services. They were sent over after the UK Inspector of Fire Services did an inspection for the Cypriot government. I saw 4x2 ex Goddesses in Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca, In the Turkish enclave in the old walled city of Famagusta they had a 4x4 Gopddess still gloos green with AFS markings, parked along side was a Bedford QL ex RAF fuel bowser converted to a water tender. The lower picture is a Thorny Nubian DP 1 ex RAF. this may be the one that had a monitor on the roof which was used at the Bloodhound site at RAF Paramalli , then at Akrotiri.

ted angus Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Only a few DP1 tenders were fitted with tjhe roof monitor they also had a anti-fragmentation screen over the front . In the picture posted the brackets above the windscreen are visible. Attached is a shot of what I reckon is the same tender many years previous.

antarmike Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Without re-igniting the AFS/ Military vehicle debate, this Green Godess was according to the display board painted Yellow for N.I. service, in the hope that the vehicle would be recognised as a civilian operated vehicle and not come under attack in the same way Army operated vehicles were. It also claims to have been fitted at one time with anti-roit mesh guards to the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that those that served in N.I also had all their handles removed from the lockers in order to stop them being opened while in hostile area's.

This one has also lost the grab handles below the windscreen. I don't know whether this was to stop people attempting to climb the vehicle.
