HT02 JVY: a 2002 Defender 110 pickup carrying a firefighting skid, in the lime-yellow livery of Invicta Fire & Rescue for helipad cover — a vehicle that earlier wore red at Goodwood Aerodrome.
A helipad needs fire cover while a helicopter is landing or taking off and needs very little the rest of the time, which makes a pickup with a demountable firefighting skid the sensible answer: a tank, a pump and a hose reel on the load bed, and a vehicle that can do other work between movements. This Defender 110, registered HT02 JVY in 2002, does that job for Invicta Fire & Rescue, a private fire-cover contractor, in lime yellow with red reflective markings.
It had a first career in red at Goodwood Aerodrome, the West Sussex airfield, before its present livery. As a 2002 Defender it carries the Td5 five-cylinder diesel. No further specification is published.
