EDITORS COMMENTS
About two years ago, amidst the chaos of World War II, the dedicated men and women of Barnet National Fire Service (NFS) took on a secret mission that would aid in the defense of our nation. In their precious off-duty hours, these unsung heroes tirelessly toiled away at an undisclosed location, manufacturing enigmatic components for an unspecified weapon. Little did they know that their efforts were contributing to the development of rocket bombs for the Royal Air Force's new RP aircraft. The intricate gadgets they meticulously crafted would soon play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of this global conflict. In this print captured on 29th May 1944, we witness a firewoman inspector diligently inspecting her colleagues' work for accuracy.
