Anyone know why Tornado's due to be having a brief interlude at the DRC at the moment?

 

And yet the original parallel boiler ones always looked ugly to me.

 

Just a guess but water is the most likely reason

 

Here's my video of Tornado passing through Oxford on its way to the SVR from tonight:

 

Agreed.

I believe it is due to be the 8F on driver training runs, however visual sighting would be appreciated.

 

45699 according to a photo on Facebook.

 

Confirmed as Galatea. This is a training run which should cover the Hellifield Blackburn Preston circuit.

Should also run Wed Thurs Fri.
