Thousands throng Hampstead for ski jumping. The amazing scene at Hamspted Heath, London, during the ski-jumping competition organised by the Central Council of Physical Rrecreation and the Oslo Ski Association. A crowd estimated at over 80,000 watched the thrilling jumps which were made possible by the erection of a huge scaffolding and snow specially brought from Norway and laid just before the event. In this picture on of the Norwegian team of expert ski jumpers, Sigurd Taralsen (12) is making his jump. 25th March 1950
