Superb video throughout John, whilst this appears to have been the best SVR Gala for many years, I still don't feel they are achieving the performances and exhibitionism that was seen at Galas on the late 80's and early 90's...but that's just a grumpy old man sounding off !!!....Bob

Excellent work John you captured the splendour of the gala to perfection, your choice of locations made your film most enjoyable and I think your last clip of 60163 is were I got the Caley at and is a great vantage point.

Thanks for sharing, regards Phil.

@981smithy Phil, I appreciate your compliment. This year I have acquired a lineside pass which has allowed new locations to be found and we shared the vantage point on the approach to Bewdley tunnel. The downside was that over two days we walked about 10 miles trackside. Regards, John

Very enjoyable video John of one of the SVR's very best galas. Was your shot of Tornado at Bewdley Tunnel taken on the Friday? If so I must have been very close by!

@acw71000 Glad you enjoyed the video. I did Bridgnorth, Highley and Arley on the Friday and Bewdley on the Saturday. Regards, John
