We had the same model appliance in the East London fire brigade, South Africa. It was decomishined to make space for an E-one TTL.

I'd always thought this was an F123 with the "Delta" cab, yet Dennis describe it as an F53, which means of course that it was a petrol engined job.

Fairly similar to London's OUV291R apart from three booms instead of two.

An answer to the wildly popular ERF custom chassis, which was the most common basis for British 85 foot Snorkels - starting in 1967.
The same placement of the engine behind the front axle ensured the low cab height. This was a layout pioneered by American La France in the US in 1948, and was for years the norm for almost all American forward control fire trucks, including pumpers and rescues as well as aerials.
European low profile cabs, pioneered by Magirus for Munich, usually hung the cab low down on the front of the frame, but did not include any rear seats for additional personnel.
Many years later, Morita and Hino jointly developed an aerial chassis with either two or three axles, which had a full four door five man low profile can ahead of the front axle. Examples of both their 30 and 40 meter tower ladders can be seen on this site...
