Comments

A class of locomotive that represents Battle of Britain Squadrons, personalities and famous RAF Fighter Stations. She also represents the only VC ever awarded to an RAF Fighter Squadron, F/Lt. James Brindley Nicolson VC, and a Squadron that gained the reputation for being the highest scoring Squadron throughout WW2. If my information is correct she is now the only B.O.B. class loco to be in Barry condition. Surely there is someone out there who can save her for preservation.
