Bush Tucker Man:
Spotted outside the unit this evening.

West Yorkshire Metropolitan Ambulance Service have been splashing out on a new motor for the Station Officers to cruise about in.
It's a week old & replaces a '03'(?) plated Frontera ,and runs alongside a Zafira (might be the sporty Turbo version??)

Paul, the Officer who was in it this evening, was quite impressed with it. In particular as it has 'presence' which come in handy when your'e trying to 'make progress' as the Police say.
He also said that when they attend RTAs, sometimes the Police will borrow it (or the Frontera) to remove the wreckage if necessary.

I'm going to try & 'blag' a drive out of curiosity

bobtail4x4:
Just glad they are spending our tax on something worthwhile.

Bush Tucker Man:
Paul said he's asked 'the bosses' for some proper training from LR (Ie; an 'Experience' session), as they will be using it to support the Air-Ambulance & may have to access difficult areas

hobbit:
Of course if he gets that course he would be better taking a second person along with him as a driver in case he's too busy to drive himself :wink:

I told him that when he metioned it & also said where the nearest centre is
(Coniston Cold, between Skipton & Settle, on the A65)
