That is a very large appliance for line rescue. Lancs and Merseyside use Mercedes Sprinters!

It amaizes me that this appliance was once a Dive unit, which was at Haverfordwest Pembrokeshire, but modernisation cut the dive team, which I believe was one of 3 in the UK FRS??

It was part of the first Service cuts which seemed to only affect Pembs. Now There are SRT stations in the service, this Dive unit and team would have been excellent.

Not just Pembs that is having cuts but all the UKF&RS.
