My latest purchase of scrap metal is this of Hall Class 4919 'Donnington Hall. The loco was allocated new to Old Oak Common in March 1929. Later sheds were Oxley, Old Oak Common, Didcot, Oxford, Swindon, Southall & Worcester. Withdrawn October 1964.
If anyone has a photo of this engine in their archives please get in touch.
Southall wasn't the only place for a fatality today.Even a bloody pigeon was at it and has shattered the front of this train on impact and has become lodged upside down on 166209 taken at Oxford. My heart goes out to the family. (23-06-2011)

One of the best moments of my life!
After Kalou had scored an 88th minute winner against Spurs i got a little excited and ended up on the pitch running towards the players, as i looked ahead i saw Frank Lampard hold his arms out for me so that was where i ended up! :)

Lampard struggles to lift me up :)
Best player on the pitch, the stewards in a flap in the background!
My time has come, but David Luiz and Frank Lampard try to calm the stewards down and go easy on me.....Legends!
