43023 Challow 11 February 2016

Immaculately clean 43023 Sqn Ldr Harold Starr One of the Few passes the site of Challow station on 11 February 2016 with the 1L42 07:30 Carmarthen to Paddington GWR service, running 25 minutes late. The naming commemorates one of Swindon's Battle of Britain heroes, Squadron Leader Harold Starr. Appropriately the nameplate was unveiled at Swindon on 15 September 2015. Note the light blue background to the nameplate, and the unusual shape - a copy of the plates fitted to the Southern Railway 'Battle of Britain' 4-6-2 steam locomotives.
