I joined LFB in 1967. I’m 79 now and can’t believe I did this. It was common place then. Good old days.

Superb compilation Dave

Many thanks for the shots of the AFS exercise on the docks. I was one of the thousand and we had travelled all the way from North Wales in one of the green goddesses, and stayed at Hendon airfield over night. If you have any more shops would you please put them onto You Tube. I have been retire from wholetime service for twenty five years and still miss the good times

What a great film of a bygone era, and yes we were all that young once!

At 1.50 the very young looking junior fm i think is "Barney" who hailed from the Newmarket area of Suffolk i cannot remember his full name but if it is he i was with him at C30 Holloway where he was posted to after finishing his training and i served from 64 to 70.Tony Sneesby

Why am I getting vibes about the movie " IF" starring Malcolm McDowell in the late 60's whilst watching this, there's something uncannily similar but I can't quite place my finger on the similarity yet.....

At 4.42 the period fireman wearing black was myself. Where has all the time gone. Nice to see so many friends from that time sadly some no longer with us.

+Mike Wallman Time passes Mike and the memories can fade. Sometimes all it takes is a little memory jogger to bring back the smiles and the faces of yesterday.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Mike what did you wear on your hands when you entered the structure

[@ShelvokeSPV]

Is that Lou Gill at 5:24?

[@davidpike5563]

I see where you are coming from but he still would have been at school then. 1964/5

[@ShelvokeSPV]

@@davidpike5563 Wasn't sure how old he was. I thought the fact he'd made Station Officer by the time of the 'Shout' documentary in 1983, he might have been older.

[@YelpBullhorn]

The good old days..........
