![[Image: 29-30pwfengb.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/29-30pwfengb.jpg) Papa Westray airfield fire truck - likely to be part of the HIAL (Highlands & Islands Airports Ltd) fleet, so most/all the remote island airfields will have same. |

I’m sure you know this already @dsl - The Loganair Westray to Papa Westray route is the shortest scheduled passenger flight in the world. Flights on the route are scheduled for one and a half minutes with an actual flying time is closer to one minute. The record for the fastest flight is 53 seconds. |

^ Thanks - I did, but forgot to mention it. Never flown it - we always used the ferry - cheaper, and a more satisfying way to arrive through the chain of islands. But I'd like to do the flight just once to glimpse a tidal shoal between Westray and Papay from the air, which was once a proper islet with 17th century records claiming it had a chapel site, all now disappeared to storm erosion. |

I've found a picture of a similar one on the neighbouring island of North Ronaldsay, which must be part of the same HIAL batch order with BG15OMN plate![[Image: 29-30pwfengznorthron.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/24/29-30pwfengznorthron.jpg) We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided ISUZU D-MAX E/C TWIN TURBO TD 2015 Registration number: BG15ONM Body type: Pick-Up Colour: Red Date of first registration: June 2015 Capacity 2499 cm³ Power 163 hp Cylinders 4 Country of origin THAILAND Apparently sold off in August this year - 2024-08-01 Latest V5C issued Ownership change. Very low mileage at last MoT - 2024-05-23 Result: PASSED Odometer: 11716 miles - I'm a bit surprised it got that many - North Ron is a very small island ... Found this 2014 announcement "Isuzu has showcased the conversion kits available for its D-max pick-up. These include a Brigade Response Vehicle (BRV) fire and rescue model, converted by Pickup Systems and a cherry picker converted by Cumberland Platforms UK. The BRV is based on the D-max double cab with a four-occupant cabin and high-capacity water tanks holding up to 310 litres that Isuzu claimed makes it capable of dealing with up to 90 per cent of all 999 calls requiring the fire or rescue services. Isuzu described the D-max BRV as a first-response vehicle particularly suited to inaccessible rural environments thanks to its four-wheel drive system and substantial ground clearance. With the Government pressurising the fire service to cut costs, Adrian Poole, director of sales, Pickup Systems, claimed that because 85% of fire service call outs are to small fires, the D-max BRV could save £3000 a year per vehicle compared to using 7.5-tonne trucks." which seems a good match. |
