Peter, this is a British Military Bomb Disposal Unit. They are the Standard vehicle used by the teams across the UK and Northern Ireland, although the Northern Ireland vehicles are armoured. I believe the radio antennas are for communication and for jamming any other signals in the area.

Thank you! I suspect it was on standby under the fringe in Edinburgh in August.

Yes Petros, but the Military Tattoo was on at the same time, i was over at it. I noticed a greater security presence so i assume this was part of it.

Peter, this is indeed a Bomb disposal unit used by the Royal Logistic Corp it has a tail lift and carries a smal unmanned tracked reconnance vehicle with camera to explore bomb in close up. The earlier dropdown signs mentioned are similar vehicles used by the auxillarry armed corps
