Barry Cordell: an apology

IN ISSUE 275, due to a misunderstanding, a news story wrongly referred to the former joint owner of GWR No. 1450, Barry Cordell, as deceased. Unknown to us, Mr Cordell had sold his shares in the locomotive to the late Mr Tom Jones, and it was the latter whose widow in America had inherited them as a sleeping partner, not as reported. We apologise for the error.
