callsign change ... to T72P1

Added by Kev on 27 November 2008.
Yes, Kev, I was aware that the new mouthful national callsigns were being rolled out. Great! Just several hundred of them to have a go at learning!!!

'72' is the station...right?
'P', I think means it is a pumping appliance, is that right?
'One' means it's their one-and-only pump...(yeah?)
But what's the 'tango' bit?

May I jump in on this one please ?
The "Tango" is the "T" of "FT" (or more correctly FFT) which is the new Staffordshire brigade designation.
