The iconic Flying Scotsman, a true gentle giant of its time, gracefully departs from its Tyseley depot in Birmingham, West Midlands on June 15th, 1974. As it embarks on its journey to Didcot, the mighty engine puffs softly along the gleaming tracks, leaving behind a trail of awe and admiration. The image beautifully portrays the magical atmosphere that surrounded this historic moment. Crowds gather eagerly along the route, drawn irresistibly close to their iron hero. Enthusiasts armed with cameras and tape recorders fill every station platform, field corner and siding they can find – all seeking to capture for themselves and future generations a glimpse into yesterday's transport marvels.
