BR Class 42 No. 807, Exeter St. Davids

            By 1972 the few remaining Warship class diesels were largely confined to minor duties.  Unfortunately I've lost my record of the date, but on one of several visits to Exeter that year I was waiting for a service to Bristol when, to my delight, No. 807 "Caradoc" pulled in ahead of a failed "Peak" and northbound train.   This was to be my last journey behind a Warship;  it performed perfectly well with "Peak" and heavy train in tow, but within a few months the Class 42 would have been reduced to a pile of scrap at Swindon Works.
