The two class 50's at Cardiff Canton?

Ok, I'm not sure how long they've been there, but today I passed there and there was a class 50 in Loadhaul livery named Ark Royal, and another one in BR blue. Anyone got any info on these? Like if they're privately owned? I did a double take at the Loadhaul one. Never thought I'd see one in that livery!!

50135 is in the special livery and 50044 is new into the Blue Livery, just been upto the ELR for the diesel weekend, both belong to the Fifty Fund,

50044 'Exeter' & 50135 'Ark Royal' outside, along with 50049 'Defiance' in the shed undergoing repairs are all owned by the class 50 fund and based at the Severn Valley Railway.

50044 & 50049 are due to haul a railtour on the 13/08, not too sure of the details.
