At the eastern end of Westbury station 50016 'Barham' gets the 08.30 Paignton to Paddington underway under the superb up starter bracket. I am not sure who the young boy in full flight was but he has spoilt the picture somewhat. Just behind him, on the platform is my Ferguson 3286 radio cassette recorder and the microphone wrapped in some foam and a white handkerchief. I still have this recording made on this wet day in March 1979.
