These were also built with a mid mount 850 gpm pump. An example which was supplied to Newcastle and Gateshead can be viewed on this site.

The mid mounted pump - very popular on the Dennis F12 dual purpose appliance too - had the advantage that the main pump could be much more easily operated while keeping the wheeled escape ladder in place. Many cities - notably London - bought mid mounts almost exclusively.

Newcastle & Gateshead Joint Fire Service never had any of those with midship pumps. The Newcastle midship pump ones were AEC Mercury's.
