    I would imagine a certain line near Skipton may well see if they can nab her for the Hunslet Fitzwilliam Gala at the end of June

    Unlikely to be visiting a line in Hunslet, I'm afraid. The costs would be too great. Unless you want to sponsor it, that is.;)

    It’ll definitely be available to hire at times, Between commitments to the NNR, and I know it’s had a few provisional gala invitations already. Sensibly, it’s a “finish it first, commit later” frame of mind. There’s certainly one upcoming event some of us in the group would like it to go to.

    This would absolutely make my day but I suspect it may be too soon for the Newstead team to consider!

    If I could, I would!

    And off she heads to her brighter new future on the Norfolk coast.

    An emotional moment at TWW amid the group as she set off.

    In good hands, I see - the same people who moved 92 Squadron to Bury.
