This from Captain Deltic (for it is he)...
You can imagine the good Captain's consternation when PR firm Hope & Glory sent out a photo of the recent reconstruction of a 1977 East Coast Main Line line-up featuring the handover of the blue riband of high speed traction from the Deltic to IC125.
They kindly attached a black and white print of the original 1977 event.
Which only emphasised that there was something missing from the 2017 line up. Something big and green, with a smokey exhaust and not Flying Scotsman?
But, wait a minute, or 31 minutes to be precise. Here's a correction from Hope & Glory with a new photo and caption featuring D9002 in all its two tone glory, plus some other trains.
And the correction arrived before Captain D had a chance to register his protest.
So who in VTEC spotted this faux pas and ordered a prompt re-issue by their PR agency? (Eye's money is on one D Horne Esq. Ed)
