For sale, LRe 05/01 on Isle of Skye. Until 1980, was registered to Scottish Agriculture & Fisheries Dept. Entered LRSOC list 09/03 (Legend 117). Source and location of the above pic unknown.

Barry Holliss' book 'The Green Machine' lists SXF81 as having been deployed at the Scottish Home & Health Department (equivalent to the Home Office) at East Fortune in 1971, and to the Tayside Health Board in 1977. He doesn't mention the Agriculture & Fisheries Dept, although he does for SXF82.

Some more pictures of SXF81 have come to light, in various locations in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Details are vague, but I hope they will be clarified shortly.
