Yup, the Duke proved just how capable a machine it is. However, I think I am right in saying the Duchess had problems on the run (I've got injectors in my head but I may be wrong) which certainly didn't help. Having said that, the Duke may have won the battle against the clock but the Big Red Machine won the day overall if for no other reason than the soundtrack she produced on her way up Shap.
Superb video from 1995 Geraint , tomorrow will see another piece of history with 07 going North over Shap again.
Those were the days Ger, nothing would stop us travelling all those miles to get some footage....Great video.
They certainly were Bob. We did travel miles didnt we? I remember driving to S&C there & back in one day! Geraint
Great stuff
Thank you very much. Almost 30 years ago!

I think you’re right about the Duchess Duncan it was a long time ago!
Terrific sound I agree. Thanks for commenting
It turns out that the duke was even better than Duchess of hamilton going up shap summit
The Duke, 1st,
Duchess 2nd,
Gresley 3rd.
