I must admit that I had to look to see where 'Das Island' actually was! If you didn't know better you would think it was a 'Paradise' island filled with immaculate Dennis's. The Delta III foam tender just looked extra ordinary despite being 27 years old. When these appliances come out of service it would be wonderful if they could come back home.

I'd agree with that Barry, there are some very interesting 'one off' appliances and all in exceptional order, perhaps the state could be 'persuaded' into sending them home for preservation ?

It seems that Das Island is in the Arabian states (possibly in UAE or Dubai; in my view). Yep, its nice to see the FS operates a fleet of Dennis appliances. I think it is a good Dennis collection as it feature a left hand drive conversion.

Bomba, Das Island is part of the UAE, Dubai is one of the 7 Emirates making up the UAE. Das Island is part of Abu Dhabi if I remember correctly basically the island is a large refinery and air strip with no civilians other than the Oil company employees. The oil Company is Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA OPCO)

Yes, Bomba Boy it's part of the U.A.E; Abu Dhabi emirate.

So did ADMA take over the operations that used to be run by BP ?

Adma is a joint venture between bp, adnoc (abu dhabi national oil company) and total as well I think.
