That was the first machine I ever drove when I worked at Teesside in 1966, it originally had a three section alloy ladder and the monitor was a 10x. It had a petrol engine and a rolling siren which was mounted inside the engine compartment, which meant that most of the noise came back into the cab!! It carried 500 gallons of water and 50 galls of foam liquid. I once set the engine on fire whilst driving the appliance and had to get the other crew to put out the flames.... embarrassing all round!!! Happy memories thanks for posting
