From Paul Ferguson at 2008-08-08 13:30:22 : This MK10E was initially delivered and operated at RAF Wittering in 1992, from new. She was rolled on the ring road and badly damaged some 3 weeks after delivery.
She was returned (I collected her and drove her back from Carmicheal - Worcester) after repair. I put the '222 phone' and white stripes on her body.
'74' as she was known attended many aircraft, RTA & domestic calls whilst at Wittering. She also featured in a special diary for Princess Diana who was Patron of Wittering.
Dont quote me, but during Op Fresco (Merseyside Strikes) a number of the RAF Boulmer lads depolyed to RAF Wittering as back fill. They too served on '74', and it is my suspicion that this photo was taken at Wittering and not Boulmer, as I don't recall her ever being depolyed there?
The vehcile looks new on the photo, just unable to see whats in the background, then I would know for sure.
I made a number of good mates from Boulmer, and this is purely to give some history on MK10 E 11 AY 74. Ex Wittering.

Most definitely photographed at Boulmer - just down the slope from the fire station.
Only been to Wittering once, when it was Mk9s and TACR2s, including one in camo.
