70013 'Oliver Cromwell' in Portsmouth, July 30th 2009.

30th July 2009

Just a few minutes after I finished work 70013 worked through Fratton heading to Portsmouth Harbour, an hour later I was heading out for a wedding photography shoot and I noticed the empty stock running back to Fratton so I followed it down Canal Walk and over Fratton Bridge to grab some 'Full Sun' shots before jumping on 1P46 to do some commercial work. Purely by conicidence my return from Havant coincided with the departure of 1Z83 back to Victoria so I grabbed a few more shots before heading home at last.
