43031 passes Uffington on 13 November 2017 with the 1L32 06:58 Swansea to Paddington GWR service. Although nothing out of the ordinary was due, I had gone to this location as the Met Office had promised a completely sunny morning, and I wanted a few pictures of HSTs with the autumn tints of the lineside wood in the background. I succeeded in the latter, but this is the only HST that passed in full sun! There were some small clouds around the sun just after I arrived, then this huge mass of dark cloud moved in from the west. I presume the Met Office headquarters building doesn't have any windows, as their website was still showing full sun, even several hours later! On the plus side, the dark sky certainly does add impact to the picture.
