One or two clips starting to appear on YouTube of Saturday's first
ever visit of a Deltic to the Cambrian.

I know one or two might think a Deltic on the Cambrian is somewhat
incongruous but hey for sheer novelty value.

This is the best clip I’ve found hopefully some more will appear of
the special along the coastal bit. You know, that bit where you come
home hogging the coast for two hours and you’re still no nearer home
than when you first started back i.e. the best bit.

Don’t you just love all the 1960s pollution that could be designed out
of 3300 bhp – those were the days.

OT: Mr Betjeman gains a virtual friend ... security implications nil.
