Swindon Works
North British Class 43 D851 Temeraire stands in a scrap line at Swindon with other withdrawn Warships. 1971 had seen a purge of the NBL Warships with all the surviving 30, from the original 33 built, being withdrawn. Swindon Works yard was full of locos waiting cutting at this time and other withdrawn hydraulics were stored at various WR depots awaiting the final call home See image 31029. D851 was cut up in June 1972, three months after this picture was taken.
