It'd have to be the Warship 'Strongbow'.
Nothing to do with archery but I am partial to a bit of cider!

D803 Albion - in service 16 March 1959, built at Swindon. I was born in March 1959 - no other reason than that for choosing it! |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

Hmmm ... thanks, Smokey. I looked at two options for myself; Solway Firth, initially chosen for exactly the same reason that Chris chose Albion. But then I love the remote and often desolate flatlands (remembering trips to Hoo marshes), and exploring new places, and I certainly don't know the Solway Firth - so a trip via Carlisle would be a exploration I would make some time. My second option is Caradoc - http://www.battlefieldanomalies.com/caradoc/index.htm - D807 - initially triggered by a historic memory / momento, but reading up there's a lot to be said for the guy. In the version of the story linked to (which the author has described as being based very much on drawing assumptions), Caradoc ends up living amongst the community against whom he fought so hard [good], but that doesn't come across as happening in any way other than he's delayed the victory of that other community [bad]. So - I'm sticking with 70049 Solway Firth |

I bet NOBODY would go for QWAG, a small Diesel shunter on the Great Central Railway, IIRC▸ the first motive power used on the Loughborough Rothley line.  Question: Anyone know where QWAG's name comes form? Sorry no prizes, you have to enter bignosemac's picture quiz for a chance of a prize! |

Well, smokey, if you're not offering any prizes (and I'm not eligible for bignosemac's prize quiz), I've resorted to a search on t'internet.  See http://www.flickr.com/photos/donglos/4095240164/ for the answer to your question - and a picture!  |
