Air Display Special from Waterloo approaching Farnborough
View eastward, towards London: ex-LSW Waterloo - West main line. For the Air Show in 1950, redundant air-braked suburban stock was borrowed by the SR from the ER (Great Eastern section) and required the use of Westinghouse-fitted locomotives off the Brighton section to work it. Here ex-LB&SC K class 2-6-0 No. 32339 (built 3/14, withdrawn 11/62) is in charge of a train from Waterloo.
