Pavel, brilliant picture of the old AEC/Merryweather 100ft Turntable Ladder from Western Austalia, are we any nearer though saying that Canberra's was a 125ft Turntable Ladder?.Picture 4860.I can see me having to send my picture in to get the facts straight once and for all.Lets be honest, if the Northern Territory can have a 125 Turntable Ladder, why can't the ACTFB have one?.....Pete M.
