This Wagon has now been put back on the run full time. following the little accident with the new Alpha 6 which was bought to replace this one..
I believe the New one is in a bad way following its little bump with a railway bridge in Middlesbrough (could be classed as a WRITE OFF)

That's correct Dave, the new ALP written off, a replacement on lease is at workshops waiting to go on the run.

Would of come in handy at that Fire on Tuesday 23rd April in Stockton.. In Stead of having this wagon set up to fight the fire then be moved again to set up somewhere else later.. Plus if we'd had another job and an HP was needed in the area
What would we do wait for Durham or Tyne & Wear to attend..

One member of Crew was injured taken to hospital with a suspected collar bone fracture... the bridge was damaged ....was closed for repairs reopening the following day- trains were delayed during this time- the ALP was returning to home station following a call .
I remember Tottenham's 8 wheeler Bronto ALP giving the stations support beam over the bay a good kiss whilst being backed in - turned out that once the booms had been raised the arms took a while to fully retract resulting in the booms sitting higher although Middlesbrough incident appears to be operator error - fortunately no one was seriously hurt.

There is a picture of G727UNK in the first edition (1995)of the Fire Brigade Handbook on page 7. The white roof was part of Bedfordshire's livery.

Highlights the need for brigades to keep a spare aerial appliance really dosen't it?

My informants tell me E604 is still on the run at Middlesborough!

From viewing local press, Saltburn's retained manned CARP seems to have been attending every aerial incident in the whole Brigade area for many months which must have been busy and er... interesting for the crew. But recently this old Scania and a MAN aerial have been appearing at fires. So guessing the Scania has been off the run and the MAN is new. Sure someone will know more.

Perhaps they should buy one or more of the aerials London is getting rid of. They are much newer!
