Great on the moorland incidents - staffed it many times

While these were still in production, they were also very popular and used extensively by fire services in Southern Europe who had to contend with seasonal brush fires. They were to be found all over southern France, Greece and Portugal, as well as in Spain and Italy, although these countries also had locally built copies of their own too.

Now that they have disappeared, they are being replaced by (mainly Japanese) 4X4 pickup trucks…

Have they all disappeared Rob ? With production ending 2016 and given Land Rovers long lives I am sure many will still be around for a while yet.

Yes Craig a lot are of course still in service, especially as they are often only busy in the fire season - although Global warming is stretching out fire seasons in many places.
