Oh if only 70007 had passed in the gap in the 4E22 formation!
indeed I had not quite got the choreography right but number 7 did sound totally awesome passing through
Plenty to see there Ian! I think the highlights had to be Tangmere with a fantastic head of steam, plus several wailing Class 70's.
yes the crew of Tangmere were putting on an awesome display but the sound of the 66s thrashing away and particularly the 70s take my vote
