    Would make an interesting book. I’d love to read an in depth history of the NNR from the conception of the M&GN Society up to the present day

    Wonder how an L1 would have performed on a heritage line at 25mph? Maybe better than in BR service?

    To ‘rebuild’ a Spitfire all you need is a few bolts recovered from a crash site. And quite a bit of money.
