Fire 1 - Ronaldsway Cobra

This is the Isle of Man's Ronaldsway Airport Fire 1. It is a Charmichael Cobra2 6x6 crash tender. I was lucky enough to have a drive of the appliance just after it arrived and was blown away by the power delivery from the huge Caterpillar engine.

Was this truck the Cobra2 crash tender that is featured in 'Mean Machines'(Discovery Channel)?I start to like the Cobra2 because of it's power, performance, design and of course the color scheme (especially when it's colored yellow-like this one)

Yup, by just looking to it also we know that the Cobra2 ARFFV are costly. Thats why only several airport FD owns it.

The Cobra 2 that starred in 'Mean Machines' was based at Bristol Airport, not Ronaldsway
