Superb vid, you know one of the TOC's should have kept one of them running just for historical sake. But no, Profit and less pollution rules all these days which translates as 'screw the customer and and bore the enthusiasts to death'.
The last time a Valenta-powered HST ever departed from their principal destination!
All of us who got footage of "lasts" - e.g. final departure from London or final departure at all - should keep our videos safely backed up and consider a big exchange to allow a common "pool" of final Valenta footage. Who knows, a big company might pay dividends or give recognition should they be able to use it!
EXCELLENT VID miss the valenta engine sound brings music to my ears!!!
