Union of South Africa

The classic A4 shaped Union of South Africa at Rawtenstall today.

Rumour has it that this is her last weekend before being retired back into the museum at York

Excellent shot Mister and looks cracking in B & W
It would be such a shame for her to retire.

Here are a couple I took when the Queen opened the Borders Railway. The Queen was in the carriage with the silver roof.
