Very few Camiva ladders were exported to the UK from France.

Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service had a Dennis Camiva TL, almost identical to this London example. It served its entire life at Hanley fire station which serves Stoke-on-Trent's city centre.

Hi Yelp:

I seem to remember London had three, and there were only a handful in total in Britain - probably somewhere between five and eight.

It seems these were not highly prized for their stability or durability, and often lost out to Magirus and Metz, even in their native France.

This was the last Dennis bought by London.

Presumably initially replaced by Shelvoke, until LFB realized that they were not up to Dennis quality or reliability levels.

That would appear to be the case Rob with LFB switching to Dennis F125 and then Dodge G16 chassis after the larger batch of Shelvoke HPs were delivered.
