The 1991 NSE Gala day took place on September 14th, with freight locomotives hauling Class 312 EMU's from Cambridge to Fen Drayton & Kings Lynn and from there to Middleton Towers!!! 31196 & 165 Fen Rd LC, Milton 140991 (2G31)
31196 & 165 (both SF - DCAA) - 2G31 (0908 SO STP Cambridge - Kings Lynn, which was formed of EMU 312715 & used on the shuttles to Middleton Towers on arrival at Kings Lynn) - Fen Rd LC, Milton - morning - 14/09/91.
The photographs are siginificant to me, as I was part of the team that moved heritage locomotives for the static exhibitions at Cambridge & Kings Lynn, plus I was accompanied throughtout the day by my late Mum & Dad (rest in peace). If my memory is correct, I think we stopped at a Little Chef on the A10 between Cambridge & Royston on the way home!!!
The weather is so cold & dismal today, that I'm going to test the Central heating ahead of the Winter!!!!!!!!!!

Leigh, Middleton SBA 448R (2)
I was pleased to discover that I had a better shot of this coach than the one that I uploaded a while ago - and more so, given that it was by this time just a month before Fred Leigh sold his two coaches and retired.
Here is the man himself leaving the Yelloway coach station, having presumably done a service run on hire to them. He had owned this Reliance from new in 1977, and it would pass to Hulme Hall Coaches in October 1984.
And anyone want any spare luggage ? Just help yourself !

H.M.S Middleton **** Best viewed full screen ****
One l took earlier of H.M.S Middleton a Hunt class minesweeper when she returned from a tour of duty up the gulf. You can see the crew manning the ships side in their best tucker when arriving back after a tour to greet families waiting for them in the base. I think she has since returned to the gulf after 18 months in port. The reason the sailors man the sides when visiting foreign ports was to show good intent and no sailors were manning the guns.
