It would be a travesty if one of them was. My guess would be a Barcrest machine, possibly Hellraiser as this absolutely everywhere back in the day.

DOND is the actual licence. The question is which actual particular machine ?

Oh well, maybe I'm very, very wrong!
Will there be rows upon rows of them in family areas of arcades set at £5jp. Btw, I haven't been to a seaside location for at least 3 years.

It's a good guess but it's not right!

Mattb with his unbelievable luck jumps straight in with the correct answer.
Here's the snippit i found
"In addition to the deal with Laurel, Gamestec now holds the significant share of the SA Brains business and hopes to announce a number of further acquisitions shortly. Equally, Bell-Fruit Games continues to demonstrate that it is leading the field with ‘Can You Beat the Banker?’ becoming the best-selling AWP in over 10 years and the ‘Deal or No Deal’ SWP continuing to remain at number one on all networks"
Bellfruits Parent company Danoptra turned a 2Mill Operating loss in 2006 into a 10Mill operating profit in 2007. They're constantly winning contracts with pub companys to supply more & more % of the machines from bellfruit.
That'll be why Reds are harder & harder to find.
They also reckon they've fot over 10,000 Video AWP's sited around the country & that it's going up month by month

I quite liked Bellfruits before the influx of DOND machines.
