A superb photo of our very own 47449 (D1566), kindly provided by Adrian Butterworth. The photo is from the halcyon days of 1988 where British-built locos were common place and shows our 47 hustling a southbound freight that looks very much like a speedlink grain train through Dawlish Warren. Note the loco is sporting a very shiny looking NRN aerial on the cab roof, which has presumably not long been fitted. The date is 16th of July 1988 – good times!
Thanks to Adrian for allowing us to reproduce the image and for David Dawson for tracking it down.
