A year on from the previous and the locomotive was now in GWR Wartime Black livery, in recognition of the 80th Anniversary of the end of World War II.
I think this is one of the best shots I took during the event, helped by the fact that the second day had the best weather of the three days. However, I did have a bit of a struggle deciding on whether I added it to this collection or not, and if so, did I replace the previous image, as apart from the livery, the two shots are fairly similar? In the end, I decided to add the new image and keep the previous one, in part because I prefer the green livery to the black one.
This shot may go on sale once I've completed my work on the event.
