Hi JP, it served the city of Rotterdam with numberplate NB-82-74 in service from 1953 till 1971 Bedford S/Metz DL24 and in Kruibeke from 1972 till 1985. Oh yeah we had 3 of them.
Best wishes,
Frank

Another great Bedford, for our Bedford Lorry(Truck) Fans.

BTW, can anyone identify the Ladder's (Aerial) makers ? Perhaps, one of the "M's" - Metz, Magirus, Merryweather?

Great classic - thanks for showing it to us.
