1:76 Scale model of a Range Rover 6x4 TACR2 produced in die-cast metal. This model is delivered on a black base with an attached clear jewel case ready to be displayed. It can also be unscrewed from the base and placed on your model railway or diorama.
The TACR2 (Truck Airfield Crash Rescue) Range Rover was designed in the mid 1970s as a rapid response rescue and first attack fire appliance for use at Royal Air Force and Royal Navy aerodromes in both the United Kingdom and overseas. At any one time, two TACR2s, characterised by their unique dark blue liveries were attached to the Queens Flight unit based at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire. From here the vehicles would travel throughout the United Kingdom for the purpose of providing fire cover and marshalling duties for the unit’s helicopters.
This Oxford Diecast 1:76 scale model, registered 31 AG 22, represents one of the first Royal Air Force Gloster-Saro bodied appliances that served with the Queens Flight in 1977.
