Reflections
Clive Smith

Picture
I, KJ, personally like to see people in pictures and this one has double value to me. We had an excellent evening on Saturday when Barnard Mills gave a presentation on the diesel hydraulic era, however, noticeable was the grotty condition of the stock during that era, The above photograph caught by chance of an HST, itself nearing the end of its days, was immaculatly clean. Well caught Clive and well done GW.
Many thanks Clive.
