Default RNAS Yeovilton, Air Traffic Control truck.

Hi All,

As a mad man who has always wanted an ex military vehicle (4x4), I finally found one that appealed to me.

I have added the front nudge bar and will be adding side steps to make it easier for the nieces and nephews to get in and out. The black lettering (AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL) was removed by the dealer who sold it to me. It had to be re registered as a road vehicle too, so original plate is gone. Other than that it is as it was at RNAS Yeovilton. It has the ground radio, beacon lights, search lights and LED sign board all still wired up. I will keep the wheels original too, despite people telling me I should fit alloys.

The last photo, from Google maps, shows what I assume to be her, parked at the ATC tower in Yeovilton.

I named her after my nans, and I hope she lasts me a long time.

My neighbour says its ugly, but I wanted something different so b******s to him

Hope you are all staying safe and sound.

Cheers,

Phil
