I am converting the AA´s kit into GW1 version and have now picture showing the fire extinquisher,

Thanks for any reply.

Hi Jiri

For GW1, The fire extinquishers would be gloss bronze green,
It is only for the more recent events, they are Gloss red.

Dear Jon,

thanks a lot. This is very helpful information. By any chance, do you where were they mounted on the Land Rover? Somewhere close to the commander/driver or in the rear bed ... or both?

If i remember rightly we had ones mounted down in the passenger foot well on standard GS land rovers? But i could be wrong on that?

Yes - that was standard, mounted vertically in the footwell against the transmission tunnel.
