The Southern Railway express locomotive "Tangmere"

"The Spitfire Hop Pickers Special" about to depart from Faversham for a return trip to Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey. This is one of the events arranged by Shepherd Neame for the annual Faversham Hop Festival. The locomotive, shortly to be joined to its waiting carriages in the station, was built in Brighton in 1947 and is the only one of the "Battle of Britain" Class currently certified to run on the main line. Named after the RAF fighter station near Chichester, it was mainly used on trains between London and Kent until the 1960s.
