From Wiikipedia
“The British Army acquired 24 Bushmasters in April 2008 specifically for use in Iraq to support Task Force Black and United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) operations around Basra. The heavily modified vehicles, known as the Escapade, were used to provide armoured transport for strike teams. Features included an increased armour package, bullbar, ECM and anti-IED suites, and a CROWS RWS fitted with an M2 .50 calibre machine gun. The UKSF had been using an armoured hull protected vehicle in Afghanistan the Supacat HMT 400 since 2003. The Bushmaster provided all-round protection, compared to the HMT 400 with an exposed crew, that was required in built-up urban areas in Iraq. UKSF left Iraq in May 2009.
In 2017, the Escapade was used in the Battle of Raqqa during the Syrian Civil War.”

How beautifully this thread is developing
I really love those yellow fire engines. That would be a cool scratch mod. Now all we need is a good styrene kit.

Merci H.P.
You’re welcome John. The Bushmaster was a contender in the VAB replacement program a few years ago. It lost against the Griffon.
