257 Squadron in Rolvenden loop

Apologies for not visiting journals today. I had a long and full on day on a learning turn at Rolvenden signalbox - my last turn here was in October so it took a while to get my head around working the box.

A thoroughly enjoyable day in the company of the duty signalman and his relief. Good conversation, good instruction and plenty of action that all worked well throughout the day.

257 Squadron makes a fine sight in the loop at Rolvenden having just arrived from Bodiam and about to take on water before departing up the bank to Tenterden. Our time with this loco is rapidly coming to an end. The last steaming is early June.
