The Alvis Salamander/Pyrene Mark 6 range of crash tenders which entered Royal Air Force service in the 1950's were a very advanced design for that time. Does anyone please have information or photographs either about these vehicles, or particularly the ones which saw service with the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Ceylon Air Force, or similar but Foamite bodied Alvis Salamanders which it is believed went to South Africa ?

The Thornycroft Nubian/Pyrene Mark 7 crash tenders followed the Mark 6's into Royal Air Force service in the 1960's. Both types of vehicles were all withdrawn from service many years ago now.
