Police Sports - Hendon (1938)

Hendon, London. Various shots of traffic policeman performing stunts on motorbikes in the grounds of the Metropolitan Police College. A large crowd watches with umbrellas - looks like a typical gloomy English summer’s day. The policemen do some silly business involving riding on a motorbike made to look like a hobby horse and men in drag getting into clapped out old cars with some clownish characters.
