Ipswich Wet Dock, 1963. Bikini Raft drill at the Gas Works Quay, May 1963; Red Watch. L/F Derek Seaman, Wally Martin, Gordon Moyes. Transportable Water Units, known as Bikini Units, carried rubber rafts with portable pumps, for both pumping and propulsion, to supply water and for use when land approaches were difficult.
These photographs depict the life of the fire service in the town and neighbouring areas. Retired Ipswich fireman John Harvey bought four of Billy Griss’s photo albums – he was a former fire service colleague and good amateur photographer. The photographs are annotated from the albums, supplemented by John’s memories.
