Humorist always had different style deflectors to the rest of the A3 class. She was used in LNER days for draughting and smoke deflection trials and ended up with the style of deflectors fitted to the Peppercorn A1/A2 class rather then the German style deflectors fitted to the A3s in BR days.

 

21st September 1975.
