Brilliant footage of Old 40's seeing the end of their lives, and brand new HST's at the beginning of their lives! Also, Ive always wondered where they hid the prototype HST! My dad rode it in 1975 while on a revenue earning service between London Paddington and Bristol. Also, I like the Ex-works Executive livery finish on that powercar at 2:38!
