English Electric Type 4 No D216, in as built condition, at Crewe. Date unknown, but reckoned to be between 1960-1962.
Scanned from a print taken by my dad when he took a much younger me to Crewe for an afternoon.
Not able to put an approx date: ie "circa 1962" on the date thingy, so for now I'll make do with 29Sep62
