Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

We like to visit a train museum in York once every few years, they have a few famous old trains like Fying Scotsman and Mallard, I'm most interested in the cutaway views through the boilers of some old engines. https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/

They used to have a Spitfire suppoerted on a pole outside.

Also a few years ago I took my daughter for a ride up the river through York not knowing there was going to be a low level flyover by a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster bomber.

I had to do a double take at the Mallard and Flying Scotsman ......but then I realised your in the UK ?
I not long ago won a bottle of scotch whilst watching Bradley ,the question was "what was the fastest steam train " and all the dummies went for the Scotsman . I dont like whiskey.
Christchurch airport used to have a warbird on a pole outside the airport , cant remember what it was .......I think the earthquake got it .

Yes I'm in a small town in the UK around 30 miles from York and the museum I mentioned.

Occasionally Flying Scotsman gets used for commemorative / nostalgia / special events, when it does it sometimes comes through this town. I'd forgotten it was built around 10 miles from here in Doncaster.

My daughter in law is from Lafeyette, Louisiana, she lives here now with my son. Her aunt (also from Lafeyette) is here visiting over Christmas, they all stayed in a hotel in York a couple of nights but didn't visit the train museum.
