Ais Gill, A3 4472 'Flying Scotsman' 'The Settle & Carlisle Express' (Carlisle - York) May 4th 1987.

            All out effort from Gresley A3 Pacific ‘Flying Scotsman' in the last mile to Ais Gill summit.
With a heavy load and no banking assistance we chased it from Helm Tunnel to here, overtaking it at Angrholm (bridge just visible in the background) and it was a case of abandon the car anywhere and dash to this vantage point, what a spectacle!
In those days it was always a water stop at Garsdale so we managed another shot that day at Settle Junction.
