An unidentified WD....looking much cleaner than the grubby examples that I remembered in the early 1960's!

B1----possibly 1095 which was allocated to Hitchin at the time these photographs were taken and would probably have arrived at St Neot's on the pick-up goods.

Don't forget also that the slow speed of colour films available at that time limited things regarding exposure. Actually, fine grain black and white film was not much better!
