Hampshire Ambulance

I remember back in the 1970's Cheshire implemented their "flying squad", a Ford Granada estate loaded with medical equipment and surgeons.  It was in the old days when we only had ambulance drivers, and not paramedics.


This I found in Fareham, Hants.  It claims to be an ambulance, and seems to be a paramedic unit.

Taipei fire brigade



Sorry, I forget if this was a UD, Nissan or Toyota. But this pumper seemed semi retired.


They seem to have several of these smaller Toyota engines at the back of the garage. The have a 5/6 seat cab, otherwise look very much like a British tender.

You can see the nose of an American Ford truck. In the middle is a very German looking configuration truck, anb you can see a Scania with a Bronto Skylift.


Next to the Scania was another Toyota, and a smaller Mercedes. The ambulances were VW's.
