    Tom - do you have details of the planned memorial to Dr McIndoe, his work was truly inspirational and ground breaking; although it does go to show the sacrifice made by the young boys of the RAF defending the country.

    Indeed. Details and timetables here: http://www.bluebell-railway.co.uk/bluebell/events/2014/festival.html, including the vintage transport weekend at the end of the festival.

    Tornado is due to be running daily from Monday 28 July - Sunday 3rd August. Generally on the "A" service (09:45 / 12:15 / 14:45 / 17:15 ex SP and 10:40 / 13:15 / 15:45 / 18:15 ex EG). The last round trip is on the Friday and Saturday only.

    The idiotic Mid-Sussex Council proposal for a new traveller site close to the line at Imberhorne Lane must be going down like a cup of cold sick at the Bluebell.

    For anyone who is worried we are turning into a "Mark 1" railway, this was the relief train run on Saturday afternoon - SECR P class and two SECR carriages. The relief ran because there was a concern about sufficient seating capacity on the second service train - which was the Mets and four wheelers...

    Ps - that's the Jamessquared left arm in view in the cab ...

    Some photos (from John Sandys) showing further progress on installation of the Westinghouse "L" frame (ex-Clapham Junction B) at Kingscote (N).

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluebellrailway/14651667004/in/set-72157645635098916 and subsequent photos.

    There is some more information about the frame here:

    http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Clapham_Junction_B.html

    Ultimately, I believe the plan is for the frame to control the signals at Kingscote, allowing the existing south box to be decommissioned, but with the capability to control points and signals at East Grinstead if that ever becomes necessary.

    Great pic - must have been a cold day though as the crew are actually insde the cab than hanging on the outside which seems common on small tanks:)

    We had the doors shut. Me because it is easier to fire a P with the door shut (it tends to get in the way when open). The driver because he wanted his seat ;)

    (Terriers don't have doors, leading to the well-known medical condition in cold weather of "Stroudley shoulder" ...)

    It's a nice photo but the track looks pretty ropey! Probably a telephoto lens making it look worse than it is, but even so...

    I have seen worse on the mainline. The levels off the bridge, the bridge being virtually a fixed point, show the track has probably settled a bit and there is probably some change in cant for the curve. The dipped joint just in front of the loco is probably better than it looks - all IMHO

    Does anyone know how and on what date Tornado arrives at the Bluebell? Unless its already there and I have missed it in which case scrap that question!

    Possibly on Wednesday as part of the move to get diesel loco(s) to the Bluebell for towing the Chesham set to Ruislip that night.
