    Harringay or Ally Pally before work. I like this 08.18 path and a 9am start at work!

    Saw her at Cadwell Crossing just north of Hitchin. They'd turned her fast road so was accelerating like billyo. Superb.

    That shot at Donny really takes me back John, "The Elizabethan" all over again.

    It's a pleasure, especially when it's a streak. :biggrin1:

    I saw her depart York, lucky the rain came just after 60019. Didn't bother with the return as there was really much point with the weather as it was...

    I've uploaded a photo from the video clip which will be added to the bonus footage on the NYMR Spring Steam Gala DVD available in 3 weeks. Also we've just launched our new website yesterday available in my signature.

    I believe 60007 stopped there on a Days Out tour a good few years ago. I'm sure it picked up at WGC too. Could be completely wrong though!
