A month to go!
The Cavan and Leitrim Railway. 1887 to 31 March 1959
25" OSI, June 1909

I love this shot, the two engines one, ready for its journey and pumping out the smoke while the other is standing there biding its time. I've been trying to locate the station on Streetview but the place has changed so much since 1959 I am struggling. I really would love to identify the two engines and establish their types and service!

Swordscookie The one on the right is an ex Tralee and Dingle Light Railway Hunslet engine brought up when that line closed in late 40's/early50's

Courtesy of Malcolm Fillmore via Air-Britain's ABIX forum we have an excellent compact history of H J White's aircraft incl. a Stinson, and this Beech 17 Henry White was employed by Vacuum Oil as their UK based Aviation Representative at Heston between (at least) 1933 and 1936. Also based at Heston with Vacuum Oil and flown by White were Stinson Junior R NC12157 (deld Heston July 1932 and later OO-HVS) and Beech 17 NC12584 (which did a European tour in August 1934).

Same aircraft, Cessna C-78, (USAAF Ser. No. 43-7841) another angle: As per the Joe Baugher site (link): "43-7841 (82 ADS) damaged in landing accident at Maastricht, Netherlands, Nov 6, 1944"
