A few months ago I bought a new 3D printed figure of a “Police Officer” holding a radio and pointing. I recently finished painting him and its completion coincided with the arrival of my second Police Scotland model vehicle, a Ford Transit cell van. Both are shown here with the first PS model to join my collection, SV12 DPZ, an Audi of the Roads Policing Unit. True to real life the RPU Officers wear white topped peaked caps, with local beat/response Officers wearing the standard black. All figures have been repainted by me into standard uniform; black top, trousers, boots with hi-visibility tac-vest carriers/stab vest covers with silver/silver & blue retroreflective markings.
Tayside Police Officers were passing down Belshotmuir Main Road when they were alerted to a medical incident ongoing. It’s been particularly warm in Belshotmuir, with hardly any clouds in the sky. Unfortunately the heat has taken its toll on Fainting Franny who has taken a turn on the pavement opposite the Strathtay Bus Garage! Having heard the Officers on the radio requesting attendance by the Scottish Ambulance Service, their Sergeant has also come along to see what all the commotion is about.
Meanwhile, as Nosey Norah stands by watching the Ambulance Crew, the other bystanders are politely pretending nothing is happening as they wait for their bus to arrive. Unfortunately the Wright Gemini of Travel Dundee on service 28 for Douglas, is being held up. With the Emergency Vehicles blocking its lane, it is also prevented from overtaking by an oncoming Strathtay Volvo Wright Renown on service 73 for Dundee City Centre which is setting down for boarding passengers.
Yesterday I decided to code 3 a spare Ford Transit I had, to use up some transfers. Once it was in Tayside Police livery, I then felt it could be accompanied by an actual officer. I set about trying to paint one of my spare figures into Police uniform and when I was happy with the results, decided to do a couple more. That then developed into painting an Ambulance crew and a couple of Firefighters.
When I realised they weren’t going to remain upright of their own accord, I then cut some squares out of the packaging the figures came in and used these as a base.
Taken a few days before the incident is this picture of a Strathclyde Police BMW 5 series of the Roads Policing Unit (RPU, “Traffic Cops”) heading westbound on Main Street, Belshotmuir as a Ford Transit Driver Training Unit (DTU) of the Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) heads eastbound passing the local First Bus Depot.
In reality both are Code 3 models, with the DTU a representation of the real life SF59 LUE, one of a number of rotating vehicles which I used on my Emergency Response/Advanced Driving course based out of Motherwell Divisional HQ.
29-8-2024 - Metropolitan Police, Ford Transit (BX22 AYO - LJF).
Seen on the Southern Perimeter Road at Heathrow.

View On BlackVechicles Parked Outside St Cadfan Norman Church Tywin North Wales
HDR 3 JPEG SHOTS IN Photomatix then Topaz
St Cadfan's is a cruciform monastic church but at first sight appears to be one of many Welsh churches that were built in the victorian age. However although the crossing, chancel and transepts are modern (rebuilt on ancient foundations) the massive double aisled nave is original 12th century work.
Another vehicle that for some reason was in the car park instead of the show at Cranleigh, Surrey.

Another police vehicle seen at the recent 999 Rescue day held locally and involving all the emergency services not just from Humberside but other county forces nearby.
I don't remember ever seeing a LWB Transit with a single rear axle. This one doesn't have an engine, so despite having plates i doubt it'll return to the road.
These two old Ford Transit ice cream vans will disturb peaceful neighbourhoods no more. I would love to see ALL of them in the scrapyard.
Clarification: The bottom one is a Transit MK1 and the top one is a Bedford CF2.
In April 2011, Freeway Coaches of Pinxton, Derbyshire were still operating a number of older double deck buses on contract work, including several Metrobuses. F811YLV, a former Merseybus MkII Metrobus, is pictured in Mornington Crescent at Nuthall on an afternoon school run from Kimberley to Broxtowe.

Grampian Transport Museum based in Alford Aberdeenshire Scotland host various activities throughout the summer months, today 2/7/17 I attended their Speedfest event, this is the third year I've enjoyed the specialist cars on display,
British Aston Martins and Jaguars, Italian Lamborghinis and Ferraris and German Audis and BMWs being to the fore.
The theme this year is rally sport and ancient and modern rally cars put through their paces on the museum’s road circuit.
Please find some info on UK Safety Camera Units.

A mobile speed camera is speed limit enforcement device used in the United Kingdom to refer to a road vehicle fitted with speed camera equipment which can park at the side of the road, or on overbridges to monitor the speed of passing traffic.
Mobile speed cameras come in many shapes, sizes, and colour schemes. Generally there are two types, a white van with the camera equipment poking out of the rear (for layby based vans) or out of the sliding side panel (for overbridge based vans) They are not required by law to carry a 'speed camera warning' logo, (although government guidelines state they should) although by the time motorist has seen it, their speed has been recorded anyway.
Often they also show the THINK!!! road safety logo.
They may be operated by uniformed police officers, but more often than not by 'civilian' police employees.
Introduced over the last year or so are mobile speed traps based on motorbikes to allow speed monitoring in areas where it is impossible to park a van.
Yorkshire Rider 3308, a Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline, departing Burnley Bus Station on 2nd August 1988, bound for its hometown.
Pictured nearly two years after deregulation, the bus still wears its former WYPTE livery, but with crude Fablon-stickers applied to its sides declaring it to be in Yorkshire Rider ownership. 3308 had started life with Calderdale where it was numbered 308 in their fleet. Calderdale hadbeen absorbed into the newly created WYPTE in April 1974.
My last day working in Bristol before emigrating over the bridge to Cardiff. I cut all my hair off so not to stick out when I reported to the Cardiff depot the following day (Western Avenue, where the big tesco is now) but I needn't had worried because as soon as I opened my mouth, the piss was taken regularily, as it still is 16 years later. Taken 14th March 1990
One for Flickerite DH73. This is the rear yard of the old post office building in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. The actual public part of the post office at the front of the building was closed some years ago, the PO having moved to a couple of locations around the Town since; the latest location being totally inappropriate for vehicular access, and is totally hoplessly laid out inside. However, the rear of the original building (pictured) is still owned and operated by the Royal Mail.
