    Second picture is probably 7th July 1930. Reason I say that is, in the book Hush Hush the picture is on page 69 and credited as Ken Hoole collection
    First picture is on page 68 and credited Ken Hoole collection.
    The book is Hush Hush-The Story of LNER 10000 by William Brown

    Ah no worries. I just thought I would add that bit of info for you. Both appear in a book anyhow.
