Close up showing Frank Dring, the driver, with his fireman George Porter on the footplate of No 42955

Close up showing the driver Frank Dring, known as 'Dringy', with his fireman George Porter on the footplate of No 42955. John Kirby, the photographer, worked at Rugby shed for a number of years and lived at the hostel where George Porter also lived. John would welcome the chance to put names to faces and especially being able to meet up with former mates. Barry 'Bopper' Hemming was the person to kindly identify 'Dringy'. Barry wrote ' Frank is in his 90s. I was having a drink with him and George in June 2016.'
