On the road with Horsa
 

It must have been the hottest day of the year so far, but it was the most convenient for Horsa (1918 Fowler BB1 no. 15211) to amble through Norfolk towards the Weeting Rally the following weekend.

Coupling up.

"Hengist and Horsa are Germanic brothers said to have led the Angles, Saxons and Jutes in their invasion of Britain in the 5th century." The brothers are still together, but Hengist is not on the road at present.

By the 20th century they had got as far as Gloucestershire.

Sorry I couldn't go all the way and hope it's not so hot at Weeting.

Nice to see another Bomford and Carr engine back on the road.
