Ambulances

Great ambulance photos from Israel, Tatra.

Roderick, the Ford ambulance could very well be an F2 model or an F3. F2s were on 16" wheels and F3s were on 17" wheels. The 2 in F2 didn't refer to 1952, it referred to the size of the truck-F1-F8. The ambulance is a Bonus Built model built 1948 to 1950. The Jailbar models had vertical grille bars and were built 1942-1947.

Paul, Roderick,

I should have known this :-[... Thanks for reminding me about the set up.

For the avoidance of doubt, that's the jailbar:



This must have been during the Independence war, the rego is a British Mandate one.

.....crikey Paul .. great stuff......are there any ambulances you don't know about?

There are a few I have yet to photograph, but I try to keep track of where all the preserved units are located. I would guess there are some I have yet to uncover.

Couple of Italian ambulances I photographed in Rome in 2011. Based on Fiat Ducato van and cab/chassis.
