Cascaded from Arriva Yorks, and latterly based at Huddersfield, Tempo YJ09EYG is here taking a local service in Halifax. Yorkshire Tiger is to be sold to Transdev later in 2021, complete with premises at Huddersfield and Elland, the staff, and 61 vehicles. YJ09EYG is in typical current fleet condition, looking unloved with a replaced panel missing the branding.
This Halifax was built by English Electric and served with No. 35 squadron RAF. On 27th April 1942, it's first operation was an attack on the German battleship Tirpitz, moored in a Norwegian fjord. Although 35 squadron were based at RAF Linton-on-Ouse, this raid was staged from RAF Kinloss in northern Scotland. Damaged by anti-aircraft fire, the aircraft made a forced landing on a frozen lake. One of the crew suffered a broken ankle and was taken prisoner. The other five, with the help of Norwegian resistance, evaded capture and escaped to neutral Sweden after a three day hike. W1048 sank to the bottom of the fjord where it remained for the next 31 years. In June 1973, the aircraft was lifted from the lake in a joint project led by the RAF Sub Aqua Club. Apparently when connected to a battery, the aircraft instrument panel lit up. The original plan was to carry out a full restoration but it was later decided to exhibit the aircraft in an unrestored state as a tribute to WWII bomber crews. The largely unrestored aircraft went on display at the Royal Aircraft Museum in 1983.

Lockdown Britain - day 2. Coronavirus claims its first victim in Halifax with the closure of local independent TJ Walsh. The proprietor has a number of drivers aged over 70 and cannot risk their health. He cannot therefore afford to keep the business going and it closes today.
