EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Kawasaki 216 helicopter, leased by Thames Television, stands ready for action in a hangar. This helicopter was a vital component in the filming of Thames TV's popular programme, "Londons Burning," which provided an authentic and unfiltered look into the daily operations of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) during the 1990s. The helicopter, with its distinctive white, red, and yellow livery, was an essential tool for capturing aerial footage of fires and emergency situations. Its use in the production of "Londons Burning" offered viewers a unique perspective on the heroic work of the firefighters, showcasing their bravery and skill as they tackled blazes across the city. The helicopter's versatility extended beyond just filming, as it was also used to transport essential equipment and personnel to emergency scenes. Its ability to quickly traverse the urban landscape allowed the production team to capture footage that would have been impossible to obtain otherwise. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of television production and the London Fire Brigade during the 1990s. The Kawasaki 216 helicopter, with its vital role in the filming of "Londons Burning," is a testament to the power of media in bringing the stories of real-life heroes to the public. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this image as a print, allowing viewers to relive the excitement and drama of this iconic programme and the important role the helicopter played in its creation. Whether used as a conversation starter or a decorative piece, this photograph is a must-have for fans of "Londons Burning," firefighting, and the history of television production.
