Do the 73’s down south have any uses that a modern locomotive cannot carry out? I’m not aware of anything. (Unlike, for example, class 37s on snow plough duties on the Far North Line) It would be nice to see them replaced by a new bi or tri-mode locomotive. However, I think when they do become...

Was my initial thought as well. Just wondering where it has gone in the meantime. If it had been delivered to the Bluebell, i’m sure someone would’ve seen it.

Spa Valley Railway due to run diesels on Wednesday this week due to high temperatures. Would expect Thursday to be the same. Bluebell Railway have extended their steam ban until after the diesel gala (4/5/6 September)

It came up on their social pages On the website as well now https://www.bluebell-railway.com/special/diesel-gala/

My initial theory was that one pilot may have operated them instead of the landing gear lever (muscle memory and all that). You’ll be amazed how many times flaps have been retracted instead of the gear! However, there were no call outs from the pilots (as far as we know anyway) that would’ve...

EPB Preservation Society 2EPB and MLV x 2 announced as attending.

Yes, that's the one.

Already mentioned in the Bluebell Railway Diesel Gala thread that a driving trailer from this unit was spotted in Monday on the southern section of the M25 heading anti- clockwise (towards Sussex and Kent). I've also just seen the motor coach (Named 'Sir Chris Green', so definitely from 1753)...

A driving car of 1753 (4CIG) was spotted yesterday heading in the general direction of the Bluebell (anti-clockwise M25 at J8). Obviously won’t be running during the gala, but is there a possibility it will be on display? Obviously this is pure guesswork, however 1753 was in their plans at one...

Lots of adverts and also only getting the ’odd’ layout on the ‘new posts’ tab. Both of the above only happening on mobile though, pretty much ad free (apart from top & bottom of the page) on the desktop version. Site is incredibly slow on both devices though

Zia says "This is incitement to Murder". Yet they paraded someone who was convicted of something very similar at a party conference (Lucy Connolly) Double standards much?

There have been plenty more uncontained failures than that! Just off the top of my head. BA 777 in Vegas in 2015 AA 767 in Chicago in 2016 It's not exactly a regular occurrence, but there have certainly been more than 6 since 1980.

Going to Oshkosh air show in the states. The collections P-38 Lightning and A-26 Invader started their journey on Sunday, although they need more stops than the DC-6.

The irony that Balogun is only allowed to represent the USA due to birth right citizenship. The same birth right citizenship that Trump has been trying to remove! (He was born to Nigerian Parents whilst visiting the USA and grew up in England)

I'd like to get it, however I haven't bought a console game since the new version of Crash Bandicoot came out! Haven't even played anything for a couple of years. If it was available for the PS4, I would've pre ordered it already, but understandably it's not being made for that (can't believe it...
