EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1942, showcases the NFS (London Region) Dispatch Riders Display Team in action at the Regional Headquarters in Lambeth, London. The team, comprised of brave firemen from the London Fire Brigade, demonstrates their exceptional motorcycle riding skills with an awe-inspiring acrobatic display. Dressed in their uniforms, the riders expertly maneuver their motorbikes and sidecars, executing daring tricks and stunts that leave the audience in awe. The scene takes place in the yard of the headquarters, with the backdrop of the historic building adding to the wartime atmosphere of the 1940s. During World War II, the NFS Dispatch Riders played a crucial role in the London Fire Brigade, transporting essential supplies and messages between fire stations and other critical locations. Their motorcycles and sidecars proved to be agile and efficient means of transportation, enabling the firefighters to respond quickly to emergencies. The team's display is a testament to their dedication, skill, and the camaraderie that existed among the firefighters during this period. The acrobatic show not only served as a morale booster for the firefighters but also for the local community, who gathered to witness the thrilling performances. This photograph, taken by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the bravery and resilience of the London Fire Brigade during the wartime era.
