I spoke to the fire-fighter who brought the Crash Tender up from Heathrow. He said they are currently looking at a replacement for these vehicles, so in the next few years they will be off the run!

BAA don't always use these, at Southampton and their Scottish airports(Glasgow,Edinburgh and Aberdeen) they have tended to use the Carmicheal Cobra, both 1 and 2 versions
