I have found some pics of Flip at work, on FOTR, Reefsteamers and Rovos trains.
He will surely be missed. Old steam drivers like him are a rare breed. I count myself fortunatre to have known him.

Thanks, Chris. What more fitting tribute to an old steam driver than pictures of him on the footplate?

Two more footplate pics of Flip, during the Reefsteamers part of Dave Rodgers' Steam Safari 2007.

Thanks, Martin. That last one of Flip and Darlene is a classic.
