EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, London Fire Brigade's new appliance, registration number WHV 383, proudly displays the station plate of C27 Clerkenwell, as it stands ready for action in the 1960s. This appliance, which was a reserve vehicle for the brigade, was a significant addition to the East Ham Fire Brigade's fleet, having joined them in March 1963. The vehicle was a collaborative effort between HCB, who were responsible for the bodywork, and Bedford, who supplied the chassis. The appliance was part of the London Fire Brigade's P232 series, and it was a crucial piece of equipment for the brigade, equipped with a powerful pump and an escape ladder. The 1960s was a period of rapid change for the London Fire Brigade, and this appliance reflects the innovation and modernization that was taking place within the service. The decade saw the introduction of new technologies and techniques, as well as the expansion of the brigade's fleet to meet the demands of a growing city. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with the appliance's sleek lines and bold lettering standing out against the grey backdrop of the industrial landscape. The firefighters who operated this vehicle were part of a proud and dedicated team, who put their lives on the line every day to keep London safe. This photograph is a testament to the important role that fire appliances played in the community during the 1960s, and it serves as a reminder of the vital work that the London Fire Brigade continues to do to this day. The appliance may have been a reserve vehicle when it was photographed, but it was always ready to respond to any emergency, just like the brave men and women who manned it.
