TVAC in 2007

Once again, I am privileged to be able to bring pictures from the company's wokshops especially during a time when the company is extremely busy.   As ever, I offer my sincere thanks to the Managing Director, Gary Smith,  and all those on the shop floor, who so kindly support my visits.
 
 

THURSDAY 1ST MARCH 2007

The 'London' workshop is now very active as the latest batch of Mercedes Ategos progresses.  Elsewhere, the Welsh order continues, along with further appliances for Lancashire.   The Somerset Water Carrier is progerssing well, and there is also the first GMC body ready to be fitted to a Volvo FLH.
 
 

TUESDAY 27TH MARCH 2007

A 'mini' update of a London Atego and the Somerset Water Carrier seen outside the factory.
 
 

TUESDAY 17TH APRIL 2007 ~ CARP SPECIAL No.2

A set of pictures showing the CARP in its striped livery and undergoing various tests.
 
 

WEDNESDAY 2ND MAY 2007

New vehicles for Merseyside include a 3-axle flatback lorry and a new pump.  The Welsh brigades appliances continue apace, but no North Wales vehicles are included in this update.  The GMC Volvos are progressing well, and the final two Daf LFs are nearing completion.  Also on site are two Dennis Sabres for Durham and Northumberland respectively.  Finally, the London Ategos continue apace, but again are not included in this update.
 
 

FRIDAY 22ND JUNE 2007

Seen for the first time in this update are two of the MAN LEs for Cheshire.  Also included are appliances for South Wales, Northumberland and Merseyside.  The first of the GMC Volvos has left the factory and the other 7 are all included in this update.  Other appliances in build, but not included are for Guernsey, North Wales and London, plus there are chassis on site for Cleveland and Durham.
 
 

FRIDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER 2007

The factory was extremely busy as usual. A mini photogrpahic record includes appliances from Gloucestershire, Devon & Somerset plus the current Rescue Tender from Taunton and one of the new Volvo FLHs for Greater Manchester.
 
 

THURSDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2007

Again, just a couple of pictures taken outside the factory, but interesting nonetheless, with the arrival of the fist CARP for South Yorkshire included, as well as a Dennis Sabre just about to depart for Cleveland.
 
 

THURSDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2007 ~ OPEN DAY SPECIAL

Today saw an Open Day of the whole TVAC complex.  As a result I am able to bring a 'bumper' update with over 50 photographs covering 9 pages.

The last update of the year sees, predominantly, vehicles for the Welsh and North East Consortia and Merseyside.
