Saw her for the first time last week. What a fantastic sight!
Thank you to everyone who keeps her and the others running. Also for putting videos here.

Beautiful, I just love Britannia!
Hopefully she is coming to Weymouth on 6th July, everytime she has been due here there has been a problem.
The "pulling out" shot and sound is magnificent.

If my film just brought you a little bit of nostalgia, then I am pleased.

Nothing like sound of steam, and beauty from the past for all to enjoy today,and into
the future. Just love these engines. Thanks for posting a little history of yesteryear
from England...

Poor positioning, bad framing, jerky and erratic zooming. Awful
