This class of Diesel locomotives were built in the late 1950s/Early 1960s. This example 03 179 was based on the Isle of Wight for many years before leaving in 1996. Entering preservation and immaculately restored,it has returned to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway in 2025 for at least 10 x years.© Fuggletim

The Class A1 “Terriers” were designed by William Stroudly and built for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) in the 1870s. Known for their diminutive size, distinctive exhaust and strength, several have entered preservation. This one spent a few bizarre years as a pub sign on the Mainland on Hayling Island!

A “Lunar Eclipse” occurs when the Earth passes directly in front of the Sun and the Moon. The shadow appears as a dark area on the bright lunar surface and is sometimes known as a “Blood Moon” given the orange/brown shadow. This shot taken on Bembridge Down on the Isle of Wight shows a clear crescent of the Moon and shadowed outline of the rest of it. This picture was taken approximately 80 x minutes after the Eclipse had started.
