Some more Pilbara RSFVs in WA, but I have a question.
Have any trailers (No5, Haulmark, Cooks, etc) ever been painted to match with the Pilbara scheme? We have seen a good number of trailers come through the auctions over the past couple of years, but I don't recall yet seeing one in a Pilbara scheme.
I can see that a trailer would increase carrying capacity for an extended stay out in the scrub. With the gear hanging off the back of the RFSVs though, were trailers ever a practical option for bush manoevering and articulation? And if they are not suited for trailer usage, why haven't the pintle hooks been removed like the Ambulances and Gunbuggies?
Good question.
During my time, trailers where only used to support training courses and forward field positions in support of ops tasking. We used them on some tasking where we provided health support to the communities. But they where never used on a patrol or operational task where they would need to be painted Pilbara Pink.
Thinking about it, there weren't that many trailers about, and we did have MOG & White Fleet access for larger loads.
You need to think and understand how the vehicles are used and some of that borders on breaching opsec so i'll not go into that here.
hope you understand
