H204 MOK: Volvo FL10/Simon ST300-S ALP.

This applianace served at C4 Bournbrook. And I believe it was regularly loaned to the makers of ITV's London's Burning and done-up to look like an LFB appliance. But it could have been one of its sisters.

J34 SOP was the ALP used in london's burning which I think is now a spare.

Actually Fleet No 120(H204MOK)never carried these booms all its life,being re-boomed with ST290-S booms in 1997. Does anyone know why? Also Tg you are thinking of Fleet No.121 which is J43SOF not J34SOP that being the one that kept its ST300-S booms.Hope this helps.

The ALP was only used in Series 13 of London Burning before changing back to a Pump in Series 14.

Is this an HP not an ALP?

Added by Neal Glover on 07 October 2023.
No Neal, it’s definitely an ALP. Although WMFS do actually call their current versions HPs. This was Simon Engineering’s offering before Bronto Skylift cornered the market, and Simon went to the wall. You can see the cage on the articulated arm in the middle of the appliance. HPs had the cage slung on the back.
