Hello lads and ladies

I have an ex MOD Defender 110 td5 (2005) van which I love to bits, and have all the relevant service history for, and would suggest it was an RAF wagon as all the history/servicing was done in Norfolk... I’m just curious as to what it would have been used for? perhaps I’ll never know and it’ll remain a mystery

I have all the servicing documents most of it at Lr in Norfolk near the raf base I presume , it’s a white fleet lease vehicle so any damages would of cost the raf a tonne of money. Not sure if it’s rare to have a ex mod defender td5 though but don’t see many about

As you say, white fleet or also known as CL (civvy) spec. Recently pastel green county ones have been released. At an RAF base and no seats in the back, likely an airfield runabout for a working/maintenance crew. May not have a Merlin record.
