Still OT, when Roy James came out of nick he went straight back to his mates in racing and sorted himself a test at Silverstone in Peter Wardle's F Atlantic Surtees.
Bearing in mind that racing car developement had moved on somewhat since his incarceration, it came as no surprise to hear that he'd 'tripped up' during said test.
Purely from memory, he lost it at Abbey and broke at least one ankle and/or leg, and was out of action for quite a while...
Regarding Brush Type 4 (sorry, Class 47) #47299, I have a few pics of her myself. I only wish that a) I could find them, and then b) could scan them, as they'll be buried deep in the loft and my lappie isn't hooked up to either my scanner or my printer!
PS Nobody has yet referred to D326/40126 as a 'Whistler'!
Oh, and there's also a rather spooky fact regarding the fate of the [rearmost] stock comprising the ill-fated Class 43 (InterCity 125) set which collided with an ARC freight train near Southall in 1997.
Did anyone else hear that one? Pete, perhaps...?
