autofive Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 a few mesh screens missing, if its meant to be a riot van
FredTransit Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Well I did point that out, but they didn't seem bothered. Have to say some riot vans only had the windscreens covered.

Have to say some riot vans only had the windscreens covered.they would be 'crowd control' vans - football, protest marches etcriot vans are very protected, and if i remember right (from the poll tax riot), they are very unstable, and can fall over and set on fire at any time

FredTransit Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 I so didn't want to see those again....... As for the windows, IIRC they were polycarbonate, so didn't need side grilles.
FredTransit Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Trust me I am on the scene list like a hawk......

FredTransit Posted April 13, 2010 Author Posted April 13, 2010 Yep they are both Brixton Riots pics, and heartbreaking with it. Niether of the transits would have been more than 6 years old, the Mk2 (bottom) only 3 years old max.
Justin Case Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 That's why the West Midlands Ambulance Service had this in use until comparatively recently: http://www.ccmv.fotopic.net/p44135724.html
