This Beetle is used here in South Afrca by a company called Surgetek for high voltage/lightning tests. The guy in the centre of the pic is Paul van As, spokesperson for the company.

Established in 1970, Surge Technology, trading as Surgetek, specialises in all aspects of lightning and surge protection. Since its inception, the company has played a leading role in drafting relevant SABS earthing and lightning protection codes, and its highly experienced staff has served on various SABS IEC liaison committees. Surge Technology is listed with the ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Programme and certification was awarded during July 1999.

They have quite an interesting site, have a look at http://www.surgetek.co.za
