Swanage Railway Strictly Bulleid II!

7, 8, 9/6/24
Swanage Railways Strictly Bulleid II, a highly anticipated follow up to the successful Strictly Bulleid I back in 2017, with a total of 5 Bulleids.
This year however, Swanage went above and beyond with their lineup and producing a total of 8 Bulleids! Two of which were Merchant Navies, a major addition following their non appearance at the first.
This was a must do event for me, a lineup full of Southern locomotives, try and stop me😂 Two Merchant Navies, including British India Line, a rare visitor South? yes please!
This would also mark my first Gala where I had been on all 3 days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Saturday being the best day overall for me filming wise. A note: I did take a lot of videos on the Friday, however due to the cylinder cocks being on for much longer than normal, it made photography almost impossible.
Plenty of opportunities for photos here and I took em, with many showing up throughout the day, such as Two 'Spamcams' side by side, a rebuilt and an unrebuilt side by side (one clean one dirty too) and many more.
In attendance at the gala were;
Home Fleet:
. SR West Country No. 34028 'Eddystone'
. SR Battle of Britain No. 34053 'Sir Keith Park'
. SR Battle of Britain No. 34070 'Manston'
. SR No. 34072 '257 Squadron'
Visiting Locomotives:
. SR Battle of Britain No. 34081 '92 Squadron'

Why isn't the microphone protected from wind noise?

The microphone isn't the best. I use a phone to film these videos

@@kingorry7223 there are number of hacks shown on RUclips on how to cheaply reduce wind noise, otherwise Amazon sells wind reducing add ons for a price.
