BAC Filton Bedford Pyrene Rescue Tender

BAC Filton Bedford Pyrene rescue tender.
Used for all the Concorde flights except the first one.Reg no DHW 82K.
The style of this vehicle could have been influenced by the MCA Bedford rescue tenders like those used at Heathrow etc as one was at Filton for the first Concorde flight.
Apologies for the photo as it was taken through the wire.

Yes,it was the crew compartment,lots of small firemen at Filton!(only kidding).
