Two hours and ten minutes after "The Great Britain XI" had been expected, a plume of steam on the distant horizon revealed the approaching train. This, the first shot, should not be included as the autofocus had become transfixed by the insulator in front of the loco. Never mind - in trainspotter jargon 35018 BRITISH INDIA LINE was a post-restoration cop! I had first photographed this engine in 1956 on the "Bournemouth Belle" at Bournemouth Central Station. At that time it was unique - the first Merchant Navy to be modified and when I saw it the only one in passenger service.
