Ex-East Midlands Ambulance Service 4213 - FJ56 MHK

            Well, if this isn't a sight for sore eyes! The YAS in Hull had disposed of its old-shape box Sprinters long ago - over ten years ago now, I reckon? - and even then, the following generation of Sprinters had been taken out of service here too, leaving us with only van-converted Fiats. So, to see a Sprinter ambulance again - especially of this generation - certainly caught me by surprise. Well, I’m slow to the party, because if hearsay is correct, this ambulance has been parked up here outside this airsoft arena for up to two years, with no clear sign of what on earth they are going to do with it. A bit of internet snooping, it turns out, shows that this ex-East Midlands ambulance was last in service with ZED Medical of Gloucester, with signs of the Gloucester firm's previous ownership are still apparent from the fading vinyl covers of old logos. Even before that, it was with Event Medic Services of Worthing after being sold off by the East Midlands Ambulance Service. So the question is, what is it doing in the fringes of a Hull industrial estate?

Seen parked up here for seemingly about two years while the spring blossom grows around it is ex-East Midlands Ambulance Service 4213, a 2006 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter box ambulance conversion. Presumably, this is now in use as an airsoft range prop as some more snooping reveals there is a protein pack laid on the passenger seat, as well as a document from what looks like a filming schedule, using terms such as "Durrant helicopter goes down", "Defend CS1 Perimeter against Rocket Attacks", "Suggart and Gordon drop in" and "NO START BEFORE 09:00 DUE TO USE OF BLANK FIRE". Some intense airsoft activity for such a small building.
