Icy cold. sorry I put 50 023 instead of 20
so it should be 1959 ----- 50 020
Clue;three engines all carried the same name.

Clearly I haven't been paying enough attention as I should have been this time.

I have a splitting headache here at the moment. Following a plane is one thing, actually thinking is another right now (and some would say it is debatable whether I even do that anyway).

Arrrrgggghhhhh got me good and proper on that one guys!! I get it now! In my defence, I have yet to move onto steam starting with the (LMS) Jubilees, but it is still all diseaseals and 'leccies' for me currently. Besides, my head was all mashed up earlier.


That said, I DID get this!!:

D1959 later carried the name Severn as 47513. Admiral Howe started out in the Navy on the HMS Severn under the command of Admiral Anson, and Anson was also a name carried by 50022, so....

1959, 50022, 50023.
Severn, Anson, Howe.

Alternatively, the first ship Howe commanded was the HMS Triton, and Triton was also a name carried by Class 76 E26056 reportedly until about 1970 along with others of the class that carried Greek mythical names.
So, it could also be:

1959, 26056, 50023
Severn, Triton, Howe.
