The West Sussex Fire @ Rescue Service operate two of these Volvo FL10/Angloco ALP's, one from Worthing, the other at Horsham.They have reduced their aerials from 3 Hydraulic Platforms to just the two ALP's, but I understand Worthings old 1989 Dennis/Saxon/Simon SS263 HP is in storage in case needed...Pete M.

Pete, all 3 West Sussex HPs went to Ireland when the ALPs got delivered. They are still in service today.
