‘SAINTLY’ BULLEID?

This is my pictorial contribution to the graffitied locomotive collection requested by your correspondent Thomas Chambers (SR470). I was at the London end of Salisbury station in 1965 when I saw this poor driver who, although dressed in apparel more suited to driving one of the ‘Warship’ diesels, found himself having to oil his grimy steed before departure for Waterloo on a through service from the West Country. The locomotive concerned was No. 34057 Biggin Hill and I’m guessing that he would have happily paid ‘thirty bob’ just to get this ‘Battle of Britain’ class locomotive taken off his hands on that Saturday afternoon long ago. I wonder, does the ‘Saint’ image, closer to the front of the smoke deflector, give a clue to the identity of the graffiti writer with a black sense of humour? Mike Lamport, Ely, Cambridgeshire
