post and papers

I dunno, honest, guv. ;-)

The newspaper trains on the South Western at that time were formed of Mk1 full brakes with Newspaper markings, Mk1 half brake for passengers and hauled by 33's and 73's. The Portsmouth one divided at Havant with one part continuing to Portsmouth and Southsea low level and the other to Barham.

I would imagine GUV differences would be internal layout and livery as they were based on the same vehicle.

Sure both have been covered in Model Rail over the years in much greater detail and of course there were regional differences.

I thought that the Barham was sunk in WW2. Barnham, perhaps.

Jeff

Thought that was WW1 and yes Barnham.

1941, I think.

David

Yes 25th November 1941 torpedoed by U-331, see:

its final death as it exploded Alan

If I remember correctly it was the sinking of the Barham, and its exposure before the news was announced, that caused the last witchcraft trial in the UK.

Jeff

There was one more:

AIUI, strictly speaking the trial wasn't for witchcraft as such, it was more for a form of fraud (it being assumed that witchcraft didn't exist).

There was a news item in the Grauniad the other day about the RC Church in the USA wanting to recruit more exorcists - they don't have enough.

Witchcraft may not exist, but possession by evil spirits does, apparently.
