34053 Sir Keith Park has been renamed 303 Squadron at the Spa Valley Railway for a year to honour the Polish men and women who served with the RAF and WAAF during the Second World War. The event was attended by many Polish associations, military personnel and dignitaries.
I was delighted to produced the artwork for the crest and nameplate. Prints of the locomotive as 303 Squadron have been produced for Southern Locomotives Ltd (to raise money for further restorations). Presentations of the Limited Edition version being made to dignitaries on the day.

The print of GWR Castle Class No. 4079 Pendennis Castle in the condition it took part in trials on the LNER, against their larger pacifics, in 1925 is now available to purchase.
The Great Western Society (Didcot Railway Centre) asked if they could sell the print at the special event when No. 4079 Pendennis Castle was returned to traffic to which I readily agreed and produced it for them. Because of this the initial 40 signed and numbered prints have already been sold and I am now releasing the remaining prints for sale. This means that this print won’t have the usual period when advance orders are taken and then having a draw for print number one.
