Locomotive 34067 “Tangmere” is a Battle of Britain class engine named after RAF Tangmere. Rail enthusiasts nicknamed the class “Spam Cans” because of its unusual shape. Viewed heading north on the main West Coast line for the Great Britain XIV Railtour in April 2022. The whole train was gleaming in the spring sunshine.
