THE MASSEY SHAW FIREBOAT AND THE 'LITTLE SHIPS'
Wednesday 26 July
10am-3pm  at The Workshop,  Lambeth High Street; free
Following the film opening of 'Dunkirk' in UK cinemas on 21
July , the London Fire Brigade Museum is hosting an
exclusive exhibition about the Massey Shaw fireboat and the
'Little Ships'. Visitors are invited to learn about her role
in rescuing soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk during the
Second World War through a display of special artefacts,
previously unseen photographs and rare film footage. In May
1940 the British Expeditionary Force and both French and
Belgian forces were trapped on the beaches surrounding
Dunkirk. Hindering these efforts were huge fires in the oil
refineries alongside Dunkirk harbour. London Fire Brigade
(LFB) were approached for assistance and our Massey Shaw
fireboat was dispatched to France with an enhanced crew of
both LFB and Auxiliary Fire Service staff. Although the fire
boat was not used for firefighting, she assisted in a major
operation to evacuate troops known as 'Operation Dynamo'.
The operation led to the rescue of both sailors and soldiers
from a sinking French warship. On their return to London,
the Massey Shaw and her crew received a hero's welcome.
Museum visitors will also have the unique opportunity to
experience 'operation Dynamo' with dynamic storytelling
performances.

SUMMER DR BIKE
Wednesday 26 July
5pm-8pm outside James Clerk Maxwell Building, 57 Waterloo
Road; free
Bring your bike to Lambeth's team of professional mechanics
who will look it over for free and check tyres, brakes,
gears and its general roadworthiness. If your bike has an
issue that cannot be rectified in 15 minutes they will
advise you on what is wrong so you can take it to a bike
shop well-informed. The police will be at the events marking
bikes and adding details to BikeRegister.com. This service
will deter theft and in the event your bike is stolen, will
ensure that your details are on a nationwide database so it
is much more likely to be returned to you if recovered. HGV
awareness: friendly drivers and professional cycle
instructors will show you how to effectively road share with
big vehicles. You will have the opportunity to come and sit
in the cab of an HGV and see blind spots and the view the
drivers have for yourself.
