34053 Sir Keith Park
11th February 2009

A set of photos showing Battle of Britain class 34053 Sir Keith Park which is currently being restored by Southern Locomotives Ltd. SLL have provided me with most of the photos shown to encourage support of this restoration. My thanks to the copyright holders whose names are given where known.

Work is progressing well on the restoration of this loco at the Herston works and it could return to service in 2010. However more support is needed to fund the remaining work including boiler repairs.

I have another website focusing on 34053 Sir Keith Park and the man after whom the loco was named:

If you have any photos or memories of SKP in service I would like to hear from you. nicksidmouth@gmail.com
