Carnforth June 1968 - a photo on Flickriver

Carnforth June 1968

            The last active 'Britannia' 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' positively sparkles in the sun outside Carnforth MPD, its last allocation before entering preservation.  Notice the modified smoke deflectors which have had the handrails removed after the Milton accident of November 1955, where they were deemed to be a partial cause.  The nameplates have also been removed for safe keeping and a professional signwriting job has replaced them.  This opens up a debate as to whether the theft of nameplates means the locomotive is no longer named - some people think so but I disagree.  Comments anyone?
