It looks absolutely spotless - and I mean absolutely spotless, not a hint of dirt anywhere on the streamlined casing. Could this be a running in turn, fresh out of the works?
Re: Walter K Whigham at Princes Risborough
My guess is that it went down to Marylebone for inspection by the man himself and was worked via the GC. It is immaculate and therefore I am also presuming that places the picture as taken sometime in or shortly after October 1947.
