A 1968 Jet Search for Steam
Thu 28th March @ 19:30 - 22:00
Please note: The RCTS Privacy Policy applies to everyone participating in, or registering for, this event.
The introduction of “Pacesetter” fares for under-26-year-olds in 1968 made international air travel much more affordable, and Frank Stamford – our regular Australian attendee – took advantage of them to make a fifteen-week round the world trip in search of steam, visiting Indonesia, the British Isles, Western Europe (from Portugal to West Germany), and South Africa, at a time when such long distance international travel was something exceptional. His presentation will include some industrial railways as well as public railways. And there will be very few diesel locomotives!
