Nine Elms Locomotive Shed - '1948 Exchange Trials'

The Quantock Flyer

Les Hoath put together 2 photo’s of the trip that Gordon Hooper and he worked (The Quantock Flyer) back in 1964. He has also included the schedule workings for the day and a document that he framed and gave to Gordon at last year’s Nine Elms reunion. Subsequently, Jim Lester sent a further version of the 1964 photograph, and Les sent a picture taken of Les at Sheffield Park presenting Gordon Hooper with the document of the run some 43 years later.
