I believe the oldest operational pump is currently at St Just (Cornwall) running an R reg Merc after 26 years appropriately names Justin 😂
Very nice, in my county in Ireland we have a few 90s volvos and mercs, oldest ones are a 1991 and 1993
heard the mechanical two-tones and got transported back so far in time; I looked over and saw the union jack flying over Massachusetts
Probably not the oldest in the whole country, but certainly the oldest for a ‘large’ population’s area, fire station. (Hope that made sense). Great video!
Dead right yeah, definitely some islands on even older stuff but most of that is old land rovers etc
These older ones over the new anyday
Wow some old girls there
And all lights work. Looks great!
Brilliant catches mate
Great one
Are old pump in north wales was like this on a manual gear box and PTO she was a work horse prefer it to these new pumps
What bright spark ruined the X reg by replacing the rotators and two-tones?
Cornwall is very pro-electronic with its warning systems these days, the X reg likely got an electronic retrofit sometime during its operational life. As for the older R reg, they probably didn’t bother with retrofitting that as it’s reaching its end of life soon.
😊 Nice
Out of curiosity why did some appliances say green and white? But one said Newquay I get Newquay being the station but green and white thrown me
Alright mate, you’ve got the station bit right of course. Cornwall FRS names their reserves after colours to make it easier and quicker.
Eg Blue reserve, Green reserve, Red, Yellow, White
@@avonemergency fair enough makes sense our ambulances have reserves but they all have red batternburg on the back doors compared to the usual orange and yellow
Some old reserve engines in Cheshire, n reg, r reg
Those old two tone sirens are way better than the modern crap.
Two tone way better
2015 ***** not old, come on.
Don’t think R reg Merc is 2015 🫨👀
@@avonemergencyI think the truck’s from 1997, when they still identified a vehicles plate by the first letter (R=‘97, S=‘98 T and V= ‘99) They continued this until 2001 when the easier year-based identifier started (01/51 = 2001, 10/60 = 2010, 24/74 = 2024 etc.) The way to tell the difference is that the old letter system would usually have 3 numbers on the plate, and the new year-based system only has two numbers (the year that it was registered)
(I’m Australian but this is my rough understanding of it)
