Hi Peeps :P

Spent some more time delving during yesterdays deluge and rescued these ;)

Fairly certain about the captions, as these neg sleeves had a sheet of paper tucked into them (for once) :whistle:

Interesting to see the pollution caused by the original engines in pics 4 + 6. Sure Jezza Clarkson would love them!
The new engines really cleaned up their act. Nice selection PB.

Well done Paddy - another excellent post. Great to see some with 'proper' engines!

Look forward to the next installment and apologies for being so slow my end

Morning PB,

Another worthwhile trip down memory lane :thumb:

I too loved the smokey old engines and the paint schemes of the period.

Thanks for sharing, and I hope the injury is healing well.

All the best,

FtD
