  1. Didn't need much luck - what is it with Coventry City and spectacular goals at Wembley it seems to happen every time they play there.
  2. Is the 4012 a clue? In which case it is one of those larger tenders unfortunately paired with Stars in later years with mixed aesthetic results.
  3. Completely One of the more peculiar club nicknames: https://offsiderulepodcast.com/2015/03/27/grecian-mythology-or-fact-the-mystery-of-exeters-nickname768/ Makes a pleasant change from nicknames derived from club colours, geographical location or some probably long dead local industry.
  4. "Scotch Beef " has EU Protected Geographical Indication status: "It's an EU scheme to protect and promote high quality traditional and regional food products unique to a geographic area. Scotch Beef has long held this coveted PGI status."
  5. I Let's hope it does the trick. I hadn't twigged that it could be Coventry's first promotion since I was a lad (1967?)
  6. Can you help Robin? Let's hope the team haven't run of steam too. https://www.itv.com/news/central/2018-05-21/coventry-city-run-out-of-shirts-for-play-off-final/
  7. Technically I thought Trains&Armour's ancestors had already "discovered' large parts of the Western and Southern coastline of New Holland more than a hundred years before Captain James Cook sailed to that part of the world.
  8. Mr Brooksbank must have been extremely lucky to get a shot of the only Star still running on July 27th 1957 - 4056 Princess Margaret and with it's newly fitted cab side window I still think they are both Castles and the particular working in the photo is referred to in "Summer Saturdays in The West" (David and Charles)
  9. Well at least it hasn't got Fairey or Blackburn in the name, and you'll probably do reasonably O.K. if you attack convoys with a fighter escort but don't bother with unescorted attacks on German capital ships.
  10. A second rather dismal plane to feature on ANTB after the Fairey Battle: 127 built - 68 accidents - 39 lost in service and testing - only 2 of them lost due to enemy action(Suez) - 13 lives lost. The planes seem to have to had an alarmingly propensity to hurl themselves over the side from carrier decks into the drink.
  11. Just use the search engine and search for 19 August 2014 - a date which will live in infamy - the date of 2ManySpams' abortive ANTB Southern putsch: There are lots of photos of Spams, Southern Moguls and graceful T9s (around page 220 of the thread) - crikey that's getting on for four years ago now.....
  12. And here's a Ben Brooksbank photo of the other side of ANTB with a pair of Castles attacking Rattery near Tigley..... Is one of the Castles a bit poorly?
  13. With a couple of other Hemerdon pics including one of some lucky lad cabbing 1363 unless it's a very short man...... http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/locos/1363/1363.html
  14. This page might suggest that any Class 22s periodically based at St. Blazey were outstationed from Laira http://www.brdatabase.info/locoqry.php?action=class&id=20&type=D&page=alloc
  15. Same cost as travelling from Golders Green to Finchley Central back in the day: Featuring some strange trains and a bus on a bridge. It would probably have been more sensible to catch a bus or walk briskly
  16. It'll be considerably cheaper than you visiting them at the Ricoh, you'll have to cancel the balance of the 2018 ANTB new acquisitions programme
  17. They should have built the South Hams Light Railway, as it's route would have been slightly further inland, probably where the road ought to be passing behind Slapton Ley etc.,......
  18. It seems that the more scenic motoring route between Dartmouth and Kingsbridge is going to be unavailable for a while:
