D5908 Disposal Update...

As an update to the history books, which have D5908 cut up at G. Cohen, Kettering in January 1970, it now appears this loco was actually disposed of at J. Cashmore, Great Bridge, in February 1970. Many thanks to Nigel Paine for bringing this to my attention from a link on the RCTS website: www.rcts.org.uk. If, however this link at anytime does not appear to work the information can also be found here.
