Ex Queen's Flight Bedford Crash Rescue

Please could anyone tell me where it is now, or who now own's this old vehicle?
I used to drive it back in the early 1980's whilst serving on the flight, and was one of only three ever built, military Reg. No.12 AJ 06 for the Queen's Flight Helicopter Support Section...

Other two Reg No. 12 AJ 05
12 AJ 07

One of these three vehicles was featured in a small article in "Fire" magazine, March 1969. Bodywork by Marshall of Cambridge, fire equipment by Merryweather, chassis Bedford R type. Roles included starting helicopters with its batteries, ground support, crowd control and crash-rescue. The magazine picture shows one with a spotlight under the front bumper on the nearside.

Neil, One of these lives not far from me I am not sure which one complete but neglected.

Ron, the one at Scampton is the 2nd generation type.
