What was wrong with the Van Gelder then ??
I always found it superb. And 6 drums more than adequate.
I assume this mean 3 per school of these. I can see some benefit. If 1 is U/S then the others are OK whereas if the Van Gelder was U/S it was game over, and these will be easier to tow.............
I think the Diesel decision is a general decision for the vehicle fleet across MoD, cheaper and easier.
