David,

I am pretty sure this QL was converted for the States of Jersey airport fire service. Seem to remember it was in one of Bart's books as well.

At Beltring this year, as a QL owner, a guy came round to see me as he is writing a book on the QL and mentioned this vehicle and photos of it. As it happened, two friends from Jersey were there, and they had both worked on the airport fire service. They knew of the QL but it was before their time.

Richard
