A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

Not to mention “playing the whale” or “parking the tiger”.

Those who follow Gilbert's Peterborough North might have noticed his Eastern Kimbolton Castle yesterday. Today on here we have a proper ​ Castle, 5071 Spitfire, no less.

I do wish the proprietor wouldn't keep interrupting the discussion with pictures of the Great Western Railway. Here's some more from Barry Humphries:

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?)

When I said there's another to come, you mistakenly thought I meant a Bulleid of some description...

Hi All,

 

I don’t know if I have shared this before but, if it wasn’t for a fairly hefty price tag, No. 4079 could have come home by air! Thankfully, a shipping expert came to the GWS’ rescue and saved the society over £250,000... It was reckoned to be feasible and she could have been back in the UK in two weeks. Antinov aircraft were investigated and could have quite easily lifted both loco and tender. A REAL Castle in the sky!

 

By the way Rob - I’ll have to bring along little No. 4079 to the real Castle party at Brent! She’s feeling left out...

 

All the best,

 

Castle
