Not Simon Snorkel but the less common 72' Wibe orbitor from 1968. There is a Bootle example on this site too. Likely to be registered 1832WZ. Went to Co.Kildare at Leixlip Fire Station reg. LZS 563. In late 1980s re-imported to UK, painted blue and registered Q611JFJ with Sky Platform Hire (pictures on Flickr). Carmichael were Wibe agents in UK.
