MYSTERY EXCURSION..... - a photo on Flickriver

            LNER 4-6-2 A3 4472 Flying Scotsman at an unidentified location in 1969.
The slide mount says July 1969 but Scotsman doesn't appear to have worked any trips that month so I suspect this is The North Eastern tour organised by the North East Locomotive Preservation Group on 29-6-69.
The steam hauled legs were Newcastle to Leeds and Keighley to Carlisle via the WCML and then back to Newcastle. I can't help thinking that this is Yorkshire but can't come up with a location.
Part of the Tom Derrington Collection with rights held by myself. Photographer not known. Ektachrome transparency.
