7029 was safely back on shed by 1am, catering unloaded, rubbish cleared and team debriefed. It was a pleasure to be able to do virtually no management on 1Z48, simply because it was unnecessary. The enlarged team including FGW, Bristol and Laira...

Couldn't agree more. Big shout out to the stewards in coach F, made us welcome from the minute we got on and kept us updated throughout on everything that was happening, with good humour and a smile. Some nice little touches, such as providing a...

My shots from the last two days, the outward run at Horse Cove, and the return run along the sea wall at Dawlish and Newton St Loe. Well done to all involved! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

CJK liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

Johnb liked Spamcan81's post in the thread Tornado.
There is no guaran There is no guarantee that the money given to Tornado would have ended up elsewhere had the project never been started. If it were true then you could say the same about any new project but IMO you can’t. I doubt many who...
