Matt,

Perth uses Bronto skylifts on scanai cab chassis now not a magirus. They are known as CLP 1 & 2 ( combined ladder platform )

TTL if it is still around would be at workshops as a spare. Still listed on FESA website though

CLP 1 is based at perth city station and CLP 2 at fremantle station.

If you look at this link you will see photos of CLP 2

Guys, TTL3 is the spare aerial appliance. It is still around, and I believe had a major overhaul in the last few years, so will likely be around for a while. It has been in service at Perth in the past week, as the CLP must be off getting serviced or repaired.
