Hi everyone,
A very pleasant couple of hours was spent with an ex Saltley driver (over a few beers in a pub) a few months a go.
Two anecdotes really stood out and I'm curious to know what others think.
1. Heading back down the Lickey in a 'banker' (in this case a Pannier tank) as a fireman. By all accounts moving at a rare old pace; the young fireman hanging on for dear life whilst the driver looked as cool as custard.
2. In later years as a driver at the controls of a Peak as it reached 100 mph at the bottom of the Lickey.
Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading this.
