The day before midsummer day this must be around 20.30 as 47565 and 50021 Rodney sweep round the curve with the 18.15 Penzance - Bristol TM. 47565 was allocated to Landore at this time having been at Laira for just over a year following its reallocation from Stratford complete with 'silver' roof just about visible here. This roof carried its grey paintwork at least into 1984.
Regards,Clive Smith.

Many thanks Clive.
