Dennis Lancet M'weather TL Nottingham GTO10
was ordered by the Home Office following the outbreak of World War 2 as part of an order for thirty three 100' (30m) turntable ladders to be supplied by the Home Office to Fire Brigades with additional needs because of wartime conditions.
A total of 18 Dennis versions were built, GTO 10 being number 2 in the scheme. This chassis was delivered to Merryweather from Dennis Bros in April 1940.
GTO10 was supplied to the Nottingham City Fire Brigade, registered on 14th of June 1940 and put into service at their Shakespeare Street station in that year.
In August 1941 it became part of the National Fire Service and remained in Nottingham City. In 1948 the NFS was disbanded and local authority Fire Brigades reformed.
GTO 10 again became part of Nottingham City Fire Brigade, It continued to serve at Shakespeare Street station until 1955, when it was moved to the Abbey Road station in Dunkirk until it was taken out of service in 1965 when it was sold into private ownership. Since 2009 owned by Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Preservation Group.
