EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph from the 1970s, we witness an extraordinary feat of bravery and skill. The image showcases Sergeant Major Gled Hill, a member of the Royal Artillery, as he fearlessly attempts to break the world record for motor cycle body jumping. Set in an army barracks at Woolwich, London on June 5th, 1971, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation. A large group of men has gathered to witness this daring spectacle. As Sergeant Major Hill revs his powerful motorcycle engine in preparation for his jump, excitement fills the air. With unwavering determination etched on his face and adrenaline coursing through his veins, Sergeant Major Hill launches himself into mid-air. In a breathtaking display of precision and courage, he successfully clears an astonishing 41 men lined up before him. This awe-inspiring moment captures not only the physical prowess required for such a dangerous stunt but also pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of those serving in our military forces. It serves as a testament to their dedication and commitment to pushing boundaries beyond what seems possible. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints staff members who recognize its historical significance within inner boroughs of London during that era; this remarkable print immortalizes an unforgettable achievement that will forever be remembered as one man's triumph over gravity itself.
