2004 Dennis Sabre XL / John Dennis Coachbuilders, GN54 LHR, based at Canterbury.

 

Canterbury's  turntable ladder is dual-manned with this pump.

Therefore it does not count towards the 4 pump PDA for the cathedral.

Canterbury's 2004 Ford Transit 125 T350 / Saxon command support unit, GK53 FKM, also used to be dual-manned with the pump. It  is now crewed by Sturry retained who mobilise to Canterbury on blue lights & siren to pick up
the CSU and proceed to the incident as support pump. It was positioned outside the cathedral entrance in the Buttermarket for this exercise.
