Repairing the roof

A job repairing tiles on a friends roof just the kind of thing that a TL is handy for!
seems that the public were interested in it too!

Ha ha no wonder the public is interested with it as you used the TL for everyday house maintenance/repair work. Maybe its their first time to see such work done by TL.

re-shingle.

Could I ever use this rig!

A rare sight indeed in the UK, and getting more and more of an event as British fire services gut their TL and ALP fleet numbers!

Per capita, London has for example one aerial for 638, 500 citizens. Metro Manchester is not much different. Most European cities have one for every 80, 000 to 120, 000. Luxembourg, with only 565, 000 citizens, runs 19 - six more than London!

Rob if you look on flickr uk fire engines, you will see 2 new Volvo/E-One (Uk) Magirus TL's for Manchester on 4x2 32m and 1 6x2 42m.
