A herculean wind up attempt by someone.

S'not vacuous enough to be truly convincing, though...

It nearly went for scrap in 1991 - but somebody at Laira depot decided to withdraw an entirely operational 50046 (and sent it for scrap once reusable parts had been recovered) just so 50007 could be reinstated to traffic. And 50007 (origionally based on the LMR) has been in that unauthentic livery for almost 27 years.
