Shame to think it's just the Merlin and Hawk left.

Cracking set though.

And, by the time we got to Predannack, it was dark!

Lovely stuff but are you sure about the year, according to records Hawk XX240 didn't leave Shawbury to go to FRADU until 2011?

A look at the Flickr image shows 15 Sept 2011 - aso confirmed by the image EXIF data:-
  • Date and Time (Original) - 2011:09:15 02:40:27
    Date and Time (Digitized) - 2011:09:15 02:40:27
But since it gives 02:40 for the time, not necessarily believable?
