A3 Pacific no 60065 Knight of Thistle photographed at Doncaster in July 1962. [Railscot note: Originally Knight of the Thistle (being named after the winner of the 1897 Royal Hunt Cup) the LNER's 'unauthorised' use of that name raised objections from The Lord Lyon, King of Arms, in Scotland. The nameplates were subsequently amended to read Knight of Thistle, which meant nothing but upset nobody. The locomotive carried the modified nameplates for the remainder of its operational life.] See image 27939
