Lovely evening light at Heyford on 6 October 1979, as 47473 sweeps through the station with the 13:24 Manchester Piccadilly to Paddington service. In retrospect its a pity I didn't take more pictures in the late 1970s, when Rail Blue 47s still sported 'domino' headcodes, and were yet to be disfigured by off centre headlights. Captured with a Praktica PLC2 on Kodachrome 64. A superb film that would capture an amazing amount of detail, but a camera that wasn't quite in the same league! |
