A4s' goodbye.
 

Yesterday I went to the Shildon NRM to see the A4s together before they are dispersed again.
I wasn't able to get a decent photograph of them all together as they were parked badly (with ones hidden by others), but the Daily Mail published a decent one:-

Here's a link to a video about how they got the two North American A4s to England:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnKVJzfvO4s

Well the thread group heading does say 'Off topic' :D

I struggled to get a shot of all of them at York. Fortunately, me camera has a "Panorama" settingwhich helped.

I was that bothered but, as I was at the N.R.M. anyway, it would have been daft not to.

The story of the move(s) is well worth a watch.
