New Skyjet
Wagon 1:
You would be looking at 203,243 and possibly 303, with 303 going to Mt Gambier and maybe Mt Gambiers getting the rebuild treatment, at one stage they had a lot more Skyjets on the run, maybe thats the plan, put one back at Camden Park?

The new 203 got it's commisioning today, but with by out of action for the next month or so. The one that was at Camden used to be a spare appliance I believe as all the spare fleet are kept there. When the axle got drop of the Woodville Skyjet a few years ago they ended up with no spare ladder appliance.
Wagon 1:
No CAmden had one on the run for a long time, some people may remember it, it was the one Oakden now have, and Oakdens had the boom and pump removed to go on one of these new Mercs. There was one at Whyalla until they got there Scania 9. That story about the axle is a bit hard to swallow if you ask me....
TillerMan:
I've been told they were gonna use scania's but they are too high for some of the bridges around adelaide, they would have had to cut a section out of the roof meaning the drivers B.A set would have had to be in a locker coz the seat would be too high in the cab (what a shame that would have been). Hopefully 205 or 206 don't go anywhere near these bridges :wink:
They used the old sticks off the old skyjets so i wonder if once these new ones are on the run they will pull the ones off the current 203, 243 and 703 to make more new one's?
Wagon 1:
You would think so, or rotate Oakdens out to Mt Gambier and rebuild 703,203 and 243.
