The White Helmets

The Royal Army put on a recruitment show at one of our local parks this morning, so we took Beanie and Biggles along to investigate. Several displays were running throughout the day, and our walk lasted just long enough to see the White Helmets motorcycle stunt team in action. Here are a few pics..

Yes it’s battle-hardened, but I wonder how long those chunky tracks would stand up to professional Beagle chewers?

Being part of the British Army, the White Helmets use British bikes made by Triumph. Seeing all that smoke belching out, maybe they should go with BMW or Kawasaki instead..

Four wheels, but he’s only using two so I guess it still qualifies!

When you’re having to do this to get all your passengers on board it’s time to swap the bike for a car

Disassembling a formation takes as much effort as putting it together!

And it’s over..

The show was very, very professionally done though I don’t think Beanie & Biggles appreciated it – they just kept trying to pull Susan towards the fast food trailer the whole time :)
