There'll Always Be An England

There'll Always Be An England by Vera Lynn

'Red, white and blue;
what does it mean to you?'

With the rise in nationalism across the Western world, and the UK Prime Minister's recent visit across the Pond, it seemed like a pertinent question. I hope the overlay of the US flag is taken in an ironic spirit, absolutely no offence intended, just a musing on sovereignty in the modern world.

The Deltics were quintessentially British and a phenomenal piece of engineering that revolutionised travel on the East Coast Main Line, something to be truly proud of as a nation. The engines though were a development of those used in the German 'Junkers Jumo', aircraft and their styling had more than a nod to American designs!
