WANDERING FIFTY.... - a photo on Flickriver

            50014 'Warspite' hauling the Vulcan Venturer Railtour and seen waiting at Hereford on 13-11-82.

We enjoyed trips out for steam on the Welsh Marches but didn't take much interest in wonderful tours like this. After all 50's were a daily sight at Hereford. I think we just came across this one. Plenty of photo opportunities too had I made the effort!
