I remember this when it was the reserve appliance at Needham Market, we knew it affectionately as "the pig". The gear stick came through into the crew cab, and you could kick it out of gear and really annoy the driver...

It was where the pump was also situated. Ergonomic nightmare for the pump operator. This vehicle was also based as the second appliance at Stowmarket for a while as "alpha 7-9"

Andy - this unit was specially designed to be low profile, so the light was on the front of the cab and the ladders were recessed into the cab roof too.
