Mk 7

 

 

The Mk 7 was introduced in 1965 to supplement the Mk 6 fleet, and consisted of a DP2 chassis fitted with Mk 6 foam equipment.  With improved reliability, a suction eye and water pumping capability, and more easily air-transportable, the Mk 7 was a more versatile primary one foam tender.
