N60103 Flying Scotsman by Barry Price. The Flying Scotsman is a LNER Class A3 Pacific Locomotive no.4472 and was built in 1923 for the London and north Eastern railway at the LNER Doncaster. The Flying Scotsman was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. The Flying Scotsman represented the LNER at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924. The Flying Scotsman was used on the London to Edinburgh service and on the 1st May 1928 she pulled the inaugral train on this route. The London to Edinburgh journey of 392 miles was completed in 8 hours non stop. This was due to the 9 tons of coal carried in the eight wheeled tender and the water trough system to taking on water. On the 30th November 1934 the Flying Scotsman became the first steam locomotive to officially record 100mph and the land speed record. In her career she travelled 2 million miles. |

Chasing the Flying Scotsman by John Young In 1929, Cranwells Flight Cadets flew the Avro 504N biplane with a top speed of about 100mph and it was on one of these that Douglas Bader soloed for the first time on 12th February 1929. Railway lines were useful references on these and the RAF College Cranwell was only a few minutes in the air from the East Coast Main Line. Down this line came the crack expresses of the LNER, some drawn by the companys latest express locomotive, the A1 Class, which had a similar top speed to the Avro. |
