Guernsey Fire brigade - New Range Rover - 1987

In September 1987 this then new Guernsey FB Range Rover was yet to go on the run. It is seen in the Brigade workshops prior to joining their fleet. I wonder where it is now?

This appliance was donated to Eastern Europe in 2002. It was replaced by a Pinzgauer.

Should have kept the Rover, the Pinzgauer is a terrible machine to drive, driven them as ambulances. Very able off the road I will admit.

Do you have any idea where it went in Europe? I'd like to locate it if it is still around??
Thanks

It would either have been Bosnia or Croatia, but I have been unable to determine which.

Do ya'll know the size of the pump, tank, and what hose this truck carries?

Added by David on 30 November 2009.
500 gpm pump, 180 gallon water tank and 20 gallon foam tank. 2 suction hoses plus delivery hoses, although I am not sure how many of the latter.
For more information on Guernsey fire appliances,
my book 'Firefighting in Guernsey'will tell you all you want to know. It is advertised on Roger C
Mardon's website.

Thanks for the info Bill. This appliance could have been unique as most were built by Carmichael..
