In the last few moments the final Land Rover Defender rolled of the production line at Solihull
BBC Land Rover Defender
So I guess it won't be too long before another British icon will disappear from what's left of our RAF, RN and Army airfields for ever. Very sad as I'll bet many will have possibly first learnt to drive on a Service Land Rover let alone taken their Airfield Driving Test in one.
What will SATCO's do in the future for transport (let alone house their Bird Scaring Kit) ? ... the Station Bike might be even more in demand
Presumably some PFI contract will appear to provide airfield vehicles under some kind of lease arrangement at some point ... Making the Ford F100 Pick-Up or the Toyota Flatbed possible 'favourites'
The Service 'Landy' ... Gone but not forgotten ...
