47293 Long Marston 17 April 1991

The blackthorn is in flower on 17 April 1991 as 47293 departs from Long Marston with the 6B71 10:10 Long Marston to Worcester Speedlink trip. As with most MoD traffic, the loadings on this service varied considerably, depending on who we were at war with at the time! In this case, the first Gulf War had only just ended.
