Westerns and Hymeks, 1970s

15 photos from the BR blue era. Unfortunately some of the earlier transparencies used Agfachrome which has not lasted well, unlike later Kodachrome ones which are fine after 40 years.

D1008 Western Harrier (1A35) & D1012 Western Firebrand (1A02), Paddington, 26 May 1972 Photo by Les Tindall. NB the bodywork damage to D1008, and that it lacks the square vent below the cab windows seen on D1012. They were withdrawn in October 1974 and November 1975 respectively.
