Saw a beige / cream, standard looking, late shape Transit today travelling at a rate of knots with blues & twos on a B road on the Somerset / Dorset border.

Who would it have been?

A good chance that it was nobody on here.

Unmarked police vans are a thing (around here anyway). Transits and Mercs. They are white though (beige is so 1970's).

Until this juncture, I was not aware that you had a sense of humour... biggrin

Probably police, we have unmarked transits but it was nowhere near our patch so not one of ours.

Saw a 'builders' transit, complete with ladders on top rack. Was a little surprised when they put the blues and twos on. Brilliant way to sneak up on no-gooders, well done to whoever thought that one up.

DN's generally use their own cars or a pool car with an NHS logo slapped on the side.

They don't get ambulances and they certainly don't get blue lights and sirens.


My other half is a senior DN!

The beige unmarked vans are used specifically for transporting dodgy solicitors with links to organised crime gangs from prison to undisclosed locations in the hope that said solicitors will spill the beans. The beige unmarked vans are usually seen in convoy with unmarked black Mercedes Vito's which carry large numbers of heavily armed cops.

HTH.

Thought that was oatmeal? The beige ones are decoys for the genuine oatmeal ones.

They've switched to the beige ones for the real prisoner transport because someone on the inside grassed about the oatmeal ones.

There's one I have seen near me (S London) to this day I don't know if its a Builder that's fed up with queuing for the Blackwall or a proper undercover van, it looks proper good

I used to see one in the city with ladders on the roof. Unmarked fire engine?

I've only seen it a couple of times, it had a roof rack on it but no markings of any kind then the B&T's and Siren spark up, you'd honestly not know unless you've seen it going
