This loco. was on sale 1981-1983. It was supplied with 3 alternative running numbers and names. catalogues of the time give the alternatives as:-
Fighter Command, Hurricane and Manston. These names are also quoted by Pat Hammond in "The Story of Rovex" Vol. 3 (Page 130).
Why then is R.374 available for sale as 21C155 - Fighter Pilot. There are many instances of this.
N.B. Rovex Vol.3 quotes 21C155 as the running number of Fighter Command!

P.S. Are you still with me, I hope so.
