Times running out

Having arrived with a train from the west, Eastleigh's work-stained 34061 reverses out of Brighton station and onto the shed yard in 1963. Transferred to Exmouth Junction by the end of the year, it would soon be back at Eastleigh for withdrawal. 73 Squadron was one of four Light Pacifics to be scrapped at Woods, Queenborough in 1964/65, not a yard that I was previously aware of.
