    The last time I went the engines kept changing over on the shuttles. Usually there is a Pannier on 1 end and even 6201 has been on the other end before.

    Funny that - we haven't ever had 5043 on the shuttles. Nothing sinister - we just never got around to it!

    5043 will be on static display on 27th October, so no joy this time around.

    I am sure FR #20 will be on the shuttles with a Pannier at the other end.
