Any chances of any one scoring photos of the new Scania Heavy Pump (I know Basso are the recent ones to obtain one of these big ass toys) and also the MP Heavy Recue appliance

They are replacing all the Heavy pump scanias some of which are over 15 yrs old and then they will replace the medium pumps of which some of them are over 15 years old as well.

Yeah, we had a good look through with the Butler D crew after we did training with them on the weekend... apparently its the training vehicle, spending time there while they all get passed out on the new equipment.
- inc the Halmatro Duel Core hydraulic rescue gear (sweet)
heres a pic from Saturday of MP77 whilst at Butler

You'd laugh if you saw where Hope Valley station is.Looks like its in the middle of a ghost town with nothing for miles.
They must've changed the id numbers on the cab.I could've swarn they were black.
Smithy813:Just wondering which brigade you hail from
cheers.

http://warsug.info/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=4313 ) have the id numbers in black on the front doors.
