WORK is said to be progressing well on the restoration of the Flying Scotsman locomotive ahead of its visit to Scunthorpe next year. The 91-year-old loco, which was the first in the world to clock up a speed of 100mph, was originally due to visit the town in October 2011. But the restoration work has taken much longer than expected. The visit is a thank you to the town's Tata Steel works for its help in restoring the Scotsman to its former glory.

He thought the prints looked interesting and might have a bit of age to them but, as he admitted when he brought them into an antiques valuation...
