Central Medical Services Mercedes-Benz Econic (Y665 HUG)

            2001 Mercedes-Benz Econic 6.4 1824LL

I've been going to the British Grand Prix for over 25 years and, pre-pandemic, all off-track medical cover had been provided by either St. John Ambulance or the British Red Cross.

Nowadays, however, a new operator carries out the role, Nottingham-based Central Medical Services.

One interesting vehicle they brought to the event was this Mercedes-Benz Econic Mobile Medical Unit / Communications Unit.

This particular one was parked up in exactly the same spot at last year's event and is enjoying something of a second life. It used to belong to South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service and was used as a Command Support Unit (See below).

Although it has had a makeover there are still a few telltale signs of its former ownership, not least of which is that open door that is still red on the inside.

In the past you would see no end of ambulances and first aid posts dotted around the circuit perimeter but not over the past couple of years.

I'm sure there were more than I saw but the operation is certainly not on the scale of previous years.

Sorry about the glare. Not only was the early morning sunlight very bright, it was also very low!
