I have posted our WLF before however I found this photo the other day of the permently mounted 50ft Bangor Ladder extended. The Bangor was hinged on a rear overhead support and the tormentor poles were the outriggers. It is interesting to say the least. The WLF remained this way until 1980 when our Pierce Arrow (Oshkosh)/ LTI 85ft Tower Ladder was delivered. Rick
