Fitted with a Simon SS70 hydraulic platform. This is a former Buckinghamshire appliance (as seen from the enhanced-contrast photo of the door). It is in a very sorry state inside and out due to sitting unused in Birkhamstead Docks for at least 10 years.

Simon Snorkel hydraulic platform based at Middlesborough. This appliance is older than some in museums (new in 1987/88) but is still on front line operational duties in Cleveland in 2023. She has undergone some minor livery changes during it’s life but has spent her whole time with Cleveland. The firefighters who drive her actually quite like her and some are quite a bit younger than she is! Personifying this aged appliance as a female just seems right.
