Yes - another J39 for export to the Southern Area (GE section), perhaps?

Malcolm, abslutely stunning photographs, they are a real joy and I for one am very grateful to you for sharing them so freely with us o the forum and if there are any more - then please keep them coming.
Several of the schoolboys at York are wearing a very disintinctive cap, does any Yorkite know which school they would be from, not St Peters by any chance?

Yes I realised you were trying to be a reporter for the Sun newspaper and twist Malcom's wording.

Where is the location of the J39 is it at Scotswood?

It's definitely not Blaydon, nor Forth Banks. I can only think that Scotswood is the correct location and that the loco is backing the train out onto the main line. The embankment in the background certainly suggests Scotswood, or the Elswick region.

As for "COR!!", there is definitely a St. Peter's cap in there, and this would also make sense as there was a loco named after the school: V2 4818.
