A three year wait - B17 returns to Spring Steam Galas at Sheringham and Bewdley. The first weekend heralded our first outing to The North Norfolk Railway, well known for its early Spring colours.
It was freezing with high winds, driving snow, hail and rain on the Friday. Nonetheless, the North Norfolk Railway team maintained the day’s services. This was the first visit to the NNR since 2019. Three weeks later at Bewdley Station on The Severn Valley Railway, Nicolas Wheatley, David Hancox and the Chairman found themselves in warm Spring weather to promote the B17 project. Star of the show was undoubtedly Gresley A4 in wartime black livery, No 4498 Sir Nigel Gresley.
