Last deltic arrival in Kings cross

This is a very grainy shot of the last Deltic arriving in Kings Cross on the evening of 2/1/82 It was filmed on super 8 and as been transferred to DVD. Our camera was the only one allowed on the platform that evening and we had strict instruction from the operating dept  that we must not use any extra light every body else including the press and television were kept behind the barrier and as you se ein the end some one turned on a bright light but by that it was chaos.
