I spotted this on a recent visit to Ascension Island.

Nice spot . . . an old TACR 2 fire truck - & most likely 6x4 - the back axle on these were "dummies" and not driven -
Anorak removed

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

TugRR,

I'm not sure that's a TACR2, unless they took one from the air base and chopped it up, and made a total hash of it. A few people did make some 4x6 and 6x6 abortions throughout the Classic's life!

What makes you think its an old TACR2? Discovery 4 HSE

Actually when you look at the RAF version, the door handles and sliding windows match, and the roof section.

You might be right! Discovery 4 HSE

I should stop drinking Gin and tonics, now it all makes sense.

Ascension was an RAF base, that one you snapped has green paint underneath..... Discovery 4 HSE

. . . . Told you so

Awesome bit of kit, but apparently quite alarming to drive when full of water - can't think why . . .

Soon after I joined the police in about 1989 ish we were to have a visit from HRH Anne via helicopter. The Queen's Flight brought an immaculate highly polished TACR2 which spent the night in a garage parked next to a traffic Range Rover. Would have made a great photo !

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I guess the only question to ask then is, why didn't you take one?  Discovery 4 HSE

Hey, it was 1989 - photo's were taken by gentlemen in top hats with cloaks over box cameras on tripods . . . .
