Brough Ranger Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Some time ago, there was discussion around Royal Train visits to Hull. This snippet from the RAF Association magazine hints at an overnight stop by George VI near Willerby (Willoughby). Any detail to add to it? 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a Royal morale boosting visit in summer 1941 after the intense air raids of earlier in the year, possibly that's what is referred to.

Boris Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Generations of signalmen carving their initials into the sandstone sills at Weaverthorpe SB between Malton and Seamer, unusual as most boxes in the area have cast iron sills rather than stone.

micknich2003 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Russ, the renewal was almost certainly done in summer 1959, a replacement for the original NERly LQ's, there was no UQ replacement. Of interest, though "MAS" the bracket is of standard "Plate and Angle" construction. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
