The Ministry of Defence was expected to procure refurbishment of the exisiting fleet
of MFVs in 2006 when Carmichael unveiled the MFV 2. New features included a Caterpillar
C-
Carmichael did win the refurbishment contract. The operational livery will be red, as seen here on this appliance at RAF Lyneham in August 2008.
The MFV 2 shown in yellow above, PB 23 AA, was allocated to the Defence Fire Training & Development Centre (DFTDC) Manston after it had been finished in the new livery of the Defence Fire & Rescue Service, which since 2007 has been part of the Defence Fire Risk Management Organisation.
DFTDC Manston is the new name for CTE (Central Training Establishment) Manston.
