Darlington Locomotive Works
Withdrawn from Polmadie shed at the end of 1962, BR Standard Pacific no 72002 Clan Campbell stands in the works holding sidings at Darlington in 1963. The nameplates have been removed and the locomotive has been partially stripped down... speaking of which... [Railscot note] the name applied in chalk to the space once occupied by the official nameplate is Mandy Rice-Davies, who appeared in the headlines regularly that year, along with her flatmate Christine, an osteopath named Stephen Ward, a government minister named Profumo and a Russian spy named Ivanov. The Pacific is recorded as being cut up here in September 1963. As of 2010 Mandy is reportedly a 65 year old living quietly in Surrey with her third husband, having undergone (in her own words) 'the slow descent into respectability'. [Addendum: Mandy sadly died from cancer on 18 December 2014.]
