Not strictly part of the parade, but the work of the Volunteer Fire Service shouldn’t go unnoticed, especially when they drive straight at you!

MOTF,

What is the Radial powered plane in the second photo? I particularly like the photo of the two bi planes with the Combine in the background. An interesting contrast in technology.

If I may, Nick being abed, I suspect - Percival Provost, known as a Piston Provost after the invention of the Jet Provost. PP or JP.

One of them that biplanes is actually a monoplane - I know it looks like it should be a biplane, I agree.

In W.W.II the Lysander was known in the Observer Corps by the note: 'For the purposes of identification, there are aircraft and Lysanders...'

JDK is right, too much Olympic excitement and I was in bed.

Provost it is, here it is in its element.
