While watching Wild Swan pull away I noticed for the first time the twin columns of smoke from the double chimneys. I suppose that only having seen A4s before at Hatfield usually coming round the curve where the accident was the other year the exhaust would have appeared as a continuous stream with both columns merged together, still brought back happy memories.
Otherwise I saw Tornado at York yesterday, well only one bogie wheel, front buffer, open smokebox door and a pair of legs hanging out of the smokebox.
No idea what was going on though as I was only interested in Wren.
