One of the best known service vehicles is 2488M, the Mercedes-Benz demountable truck that carries the Emergency Control Unit body. From 1990 until 2006 the body for this role was DB7. However, a report was received in May 2006 of a new body being sighted in the West Midlands! This presumably took some time to fit out and complete but eventually turned up in London as DB25. The body, built by Lyntons, was on display during an emergency services show at Westminster on 19th October 2006. Note the awning on the nearside, and the telescopic pole on the rear, this having a CCTV camera and floodlight at the top. |
