Farewell to the Deltics - Doncaster 1982

BR arranged event after the withdrawal of the last Deltics in early 1982. The survivors were lined up in Doncaster Works on 27th Feb before being sent to the scrap line. 55022 is seen leaving for York NRM light engine, breaking the ban on privately owned diesels running on the mainline. Camera was separate from the recorder and they weighed a ton. It was probably one of the first consumer VHS cameras. Storage on tape has degraded the image somewhat over the years.
