>Ah, Mr Stroudley - The CME (Chief Mechanical Engineer) of the LBSCR (London Brighton & South Coast Railway) whose locomotive designs included the 0-6-0Ts known as Terriers, some of which still run on our heritage lines- Am I correct?<
That's the one. Actually I think whoever chose the colour was a closet Bulleid fan -- it's rather like malachite green -- but since the only real railway CMEs were Gresley and Stanier, we don't talk about Bulleid in polite society.
(sorry, other interest mode now OFF).
Nice aeroplane anyway.
