The Last Slip And Pitch, LFB Southwark Training School
The escape ladder of 1969 Dennis F108 Pump Escape ALL386H became the last to be slipped and pitched against the drill tower of the former London Fire Brigade Training School at Southwark, shortly before the site was sold to property developers.
A crew of retired London Firemen returned to where they had been taught their trade, to drill in the yard one last time.
The Crew: Arthur ‘Tug’ Wilson, Steve Jacobs, Ed Barry, Kevin Walton, and Chris Dodd
