Manufacturer description

The Range Rover 6 x 4 TACR2 (Range Rover Tactical Airfield Crash Rescue Mark 2) was introduced in 1977 as a successor to the earlier TACR1 based on a Land Rover chassis. The vehicles were designed in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence as first response crash rescue appliances to get to the scene of an aircraft incident ahead of the major fire engines. With a capacity of 200 gallons of foam and water and an assortment of rescue gear, their four man crew was well prepared for emergencies.

Our latest release is as used by the RAF at St Mawgan in Cornwall. Unusually decorated in a military green with contrasting yellow waistband running right round the vehicle, it is registered 31 AG 14. Its role as an Aircraft Crash Rescue is printed in white above the windscreen and additional printing to the sides is also in white. The detailed roof accessories include a ladder, spare wheel, blue roof beacon, floodlights and hose reel, while additional equipment including the hoses are fixed to the sides.
