Into service 1961, withdrawn 1979. Served at Addlestone Moor, Weybridge & Chertsey.
Fitted with a Haydon-Magraius 100ft ladder. (Information from 'The Fire Brigade Handbook Special appliances Vol2' British Bus Publishing, 1997 ISBN 1 897990 50 2)
Join up with the Fire Service Preservation Goup www.firespg.freeserve.co.uk - you can then ask other members for this information. The Fire Brigade Society www.thefirebrigadesociety.co.uk may also be helpful.
