Thr Hornby Battle of Britain model of 34067, early crest, carries the station crests for RAF Tangmere on the cab sheets below the number.

Now I know that the loco did carry these crests but I have been unable to locate any photos of it with the original tender and the early crest (a la model) I have located evidence however with the rebuilt tender and the late crest.

My query is this - does anyone know where and when these crests were added, I hasten to add that I know why.

Regards

thanks for that, Unfortunately the book quoted is one I do not have, so I'd better keep my eyes open for a copy.
