Photographed at the Hickstead Fire Show Spectacular at the Hickstead All England Showground in West Sussex in 1994 was this 1982 Dennis F125/Merryweather(reg-ACM 390K)100ft Turntable Ladder.
The appliance was an ex-Merseyside Metropolitan Fire Brigade Dennis F125 and was based at St Mather Avenue Fire Station in Liverpool until 1991,it then went as a spare appliance before finally going out of service in 1994,it then went straight into preservation.The ladder was re-chassied from an AEC/Mercury appliance???.

I think it an A type ladder so it must be of some age. 1950s?

The TTL ACM 390 X was stationed at the old toxteth station on Belvidere Road (S6).If the ladders were from YKF 719 that appliance was purchased in July 1958 by Liverpool Fire Brigade.

Yes, YKF179 was from 1957 and served the City of Liverpool till 1982.Its believed this is the ladder that was transferred onto this 1982 Dennis F125 appliance.

The ladders were actually transferred from 1019 Wallasey AEC GM4R"Mercury" HHF 84 to 1199 ACM390X after finishing her career at Strand Road and Storrie Ave training school.

I was a Subo at Belvidere when the TL came to the station .
I think Dave Price is corect when he says the ladder came from YKF 719 .

ACM 390X never served at Strand Road or Mather Avenue. It arrived in 1982 (Strand Road closed in 1979) going as Dave correctly points out to S6 Belvidere Road, before moving to the new station in High Park Street the following year.

Andrew,
Are you sure about this ? Documentation says that the ladders from HHF 84 went to B925 KWM.

Hi Ian, correct me if i'm wrong, the info I have came from a secondhand source in the Brigade workshops around 1992. ACM404X had the ladders from YKF 719, DWM603Y had the ladders from OWM 621, DWM608Y no info, A49 HKC ladders from KDJ 404. Can you confirm this please Ian. I know that JCM 61 from Birkenhead, DKD930C, MLV605/6F from Liverpool kept their ladders. Where did DWM608Y accrue her ladders?

DWM 608Y was infact re-registred to A48 HKC, the Parr Stocks Road HP (booms from 9750KF). To confuse the issue further, my records show that ACM 390X had YKF 719's, ACM 404X had the ladders from London FB's 242 FLM, DWM 603Y had OWM 261, A49 HKC had KDJ 404 and finally B925 KWM and HHF 84.
I also believe, but cannot be 100%, that F922 YCM which was Southports Volvo TL carried the ladders off former London ERF TL GYM 268N.

If anyone sees this appliance, the ladder no should be embossed on the turret.

I agree 100% with that which Andy states.

Wonderful. Change the database to reflect. I didn't know that DWM608Y was reregistered.
