Portsmouth Ambulance Service Splint 1960's Vintage.

PAS 'lower leg splint' together with a picture (not best quality) of the splint in use. The picture on the right was taken in 1963 and shows Pete 'Pear-drop' Norman and Reg 'Timber' Woods at an exercise in the Central Depot. The exercise was to test inter-agency working between Police Fire & Ambulance and was organised by Mr Reg Dodd (Deputy Chief). It is one of a number of pictures that featured in a full-page article in the Portsmouth News.
