West Midlands Fire Service Honda VFR800F (BF20 CRK)

            2020 Honda VFR800F

Static displays at the British Grand Prix are usually abysmal and this year, once again, was no exception to the rule. However, the local constabulary usually attempt to make up for it.

For a few years Northamptonshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) had a brilliant display of vehicles on show for the spectators. 

Unfortunately, it was a smaller display this year but there were still some nice things on show.

Amongst a number of vehicles parked up alongside the old start/finish straight was this new Honda VFR800F from West Midlands Fire Service. Fire engines just aren't what they used to be! 

This one is assigned to the Road Casualty Reduction Team and is used as a part of the service's 'Biker Down' initiative. 

The scheme provides free first aid training and offers guidance on how to manage an accident scene involving a motorcycle should you happen upon one.

The British Grand Prix was held as a part of the UK Government's Events Research Programme, which meant a capacity crowd at a sporting event in the UK for the first time since early 2020 and no social distancing or face coverings required at the meeting. 

Taking place on the day before pretty much all lockdown restrictions were lifted in England all attendees had to demonstrate that they had tested negative for Covid-19 from tests taken within 48 hours of the event or prove that they had had both vaccination jabs 14 days before arrival.

I can't tell you how good it felt to experience some sort of 'normality' after so long. The scorching summer weather made it even better!
