Exactly. There are volunteers, who are a massive benefit to society and in many ways what makes a society civilised and there are mental health victims who are a drain on national resources. The very least the latter group can do is give everyone a good laugh while they run about with orange lamps on their heads pretending to be special forces until they are sectioned or arrested.
Harsh.....but fair!

They'll be frothing under their hi viz at the thought of tugging some young girls lupo.

She might even be wearing a skirt and welly combo.

Might even speak, to an actual real female. Not their mum.

I noticed a couple of things of interest in this video

1 hi viz umbrella at 0:15
2 police jacket at 1:00
3 a 4x4 not covered in stickers!
I've noticed another combat indicator....
Largely pointless YouToob vids showing 4x4 Emergency Hero Rapid Reaction Incident Response Rescue Ranger Elite Corp in "training" to the sounds of a sombre, over-dramatic anthem lifted from Gladiator or some other epic piece of cinema.
Some corking videos on that channel!

Assume it's been found or there is another TT in batten-burg as I saw one that looked just like this in Muswell Hill last week!

I'm glad this thread has come back. A few weeks ago on the way home from the Isle of Wight I I found an absolute howler, orange and red battenberg down the side of the estate car, orange lights, both passengers in hi viz. "LOST PET SEARCH TEAM" proudly displayed all over the vehicle. Amazing.

Code red?!? Code red?

This goes way beyond code red! In fact we need to invent a whole new colour to describe this emergency!

Lives are at stake here.....er....well a number cars are stuck in some mud and I think some of you aren't taking it seriously.

Get November Whisky 606 on the emergency channel and prepare to deploy!

And for those of you mocking...just remember without unsung heroes like us the consequences could be significant.

Imagine if you were a civilian in this disaster zone (that is a person attending a festival) you might arrive the next day or, God forbid, get back to work a day late at the end. So think on...

Let's mount up and move out! Ho!

I had to tow my old man's 911 out of Glato with my Patrol in 2013 when we left. Does that mean I qualify to join a 4x4 rescue team?

Where you wearing high-vis?

Big no no if you weren't. They won't let you in the club.
