Syd adds to Thursday's blog with news of the Lowestoft airshow traffic :
"Hi Gerard, A few extra snippets, plus a photo of 20514 departing on the 1255 X1 from Lowestoft with the blinds in use ( taken by James Race under duress from me ! ). Firstly 34108 wasnt intended to be taken off X1s, it needed its wheel nuts re-torqued, but was slightly late in due to something going on in the town. Despite all hands to the job it wasnt quick enough so 37565 deputised. 34108 went off on the 1513 ser 99 to Southwold and promptly broke a window so that was the end of its days work.
20126 was supplied for the 1725 short to Gt Yarmouth, but left full to the brim at 1720, followed by 32207 a few minutes later. Incidently the 1710 ser 1B to Martham also joined in double vision by leaving at 1715 and 1725, both with B7/Presidents. Not to be outdone the 1723 X2 also doubled up with departures at 1730 and 1740!! This left a bit of a bus shortfall so 37566 was 'borrowed' from X1 (Y13) on arrival and sent off on the 1810 Ser 1 to Martham, and stayed on the diagram working the 2110 ser 1 as well. Its place on the 1848 departure fell to 37574 after one of the worlds fastest re-fuel/sweeps ever seen. 20107 is off having a safety service at Gasworks Road so may not be out Friday".
Thanks to Syd for this information.
