The first glimpse of GXA95 arriving at it's new home in the North East of England

On a very wet day it is slowly eased on the end of a tow into the shed

The livery is from it's last Brigade where it saw active service

A mid-mounted Sulzer pump with an integral 4 cylinder engine provides the pumping capability

The ladder is a 100' Merryweather which is a completely mechanically driven from the main propulsion engine. Jacks swing out around the rear axle to provide stability when the ladder is elevated.
