71000 DUKE OF GLOUCESTER & myself. Swindon. 14th June 1995.
No Hi Viz, it must be an old photo. This i remember well. After school i was playing golf at the nearby GWR park when i heard a steam whistle so i took the chance to see if it was at the station, and luckily it was in the form of the big DOG. There she was taking water on the old Royal Mail platform. With TV & Press Photographers on site i was asked by the Journalist of the local paper if i was interested in trains, Yes i am i replied, then was asked if i would come track side for a photo with Peter King, Operations Manager of the DOG trust for the paper. so here is one of several copies from the press. The DOG was on a Crewe to Paignton special.
I'm not sure what is worse, my old Chelsea goalkeeper top or my mushroom haircut. PMSL.
