16 years old on this day in 1965 and not yet passed out for firing. Went off to the Southern Region and here I am wandering around Bournemouth shed and two Bullied Pacific’s are ready for the next trip up to London. Battle of Britain 34086 219 Squadron in original condition and West Country 34101 “Hartland”in rebuilt form. A little over two years to go before all this would be gone. 6th June 1965. Regards Ledg.
