Ay up!

The headboard passing Hillhouse reads "RCTS Diamond Jubilee 1928-1988." All of Mallard's tours were run in 1988 because Scarborough Council contributed to the overhaul were most displeased when they learned that only a 12 month "ticket" was being booked....

Be nice to see her running for the 75th. Never happen of course - the NRM are unable to tell the difference between a steam locomotive and a classic car.....
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Here are two images of 4468 MALLARD departing northbound from Princes Risborough @ 1225 hours on the 25 October 1986. Hauling the "Shakespear Limited".

It was a good day for Gresley fans as two A4's and the A3 appeared. Sir Nigel Gresley, Mallard and the Flying Scotsman.

A correction to the dates on my last set of Mallard pictures at Princes Risborough, the date is the 12th October 1986 and not the 25th.

Apologies for any problems caused.

NG.
