Found these two splendid pictures on Facebook. They are both of the same steam train at two locations in Dentdale on Saturday 22nd June 2024. The first, by Shep Woolley, shows Arten Gill viaduct. The second, by Matt Kirby, is of Dent Head viaduct. The fireman of the Battle of Britain class locomotive Tangmere is Settle's Martyn Soames. Not long afterwards she roared through Settle station with * 'Her Whistle Wide and Her Throttle Back'*. What a sight and sound.
Have a listen. A song from my childhood. Days of innocence when the word 'hell' was swearing, deserving of omission.
