L/R 110 4x4 Regional Force Surveilance Vehicle (RFSV)

[Tommy]

The Townsville Land Rovers are standard RFSVs. Used for airfield patrol etc. 10th Light Horse over here in Perth also use this standard version as shown in the third photo below. The 150 or so Norforce and Pilbara Regiment RFSVs have had the upgrade as described in post #7 of this thread.

Not sure PJ but this article from Cairns.com.au does show a photo of soldiers from 51st Battalion Far North Queensland Regiment standing next to an upgraded RFSV.

As far as I can tell, 80-100 of the RFSVs are still in their original configuration such as the Townsville Land Rovers. There are 150 or so upgraded RFSV of which one has been sold off (Perth).

Not sure how much the Townsville RFSVs will go for. Time will tell.

Do we have a file picture of the Perth one?

Do we have any pictures of the FFR fit on these?

I've had a look at all the RFSV photo I have and cannot find one with a communications aerial. As seen in the photo below, the Pilbara Regiment had their own FFR tag along with the RFSVs. I suspect that the RFSVs carried a portable comms unit.

I see the ACT ones went for big bucks...

I thought all the RFSV were FFR or are you asking about the radio kit?  AFAIK it would Raven equipment.

Nope. Def nil comms fitout in either original or modified RFSVs, all manpack.

1x battery for start, and 1x battery for auxillary power.

Ws there a reason why they did not have a FFR, I would have thought due to the nature of there work a FFR fit would have been a must?

No room to fit the radio stacks with those trunks?

[juddy]

I see, cheers..

These RFSV's are actually very rare, because they may be the only ones that have not been upgraded to the newer specification for the vehicle, so not only are they some of the few still in original configuration, but may be the only ones!
