I agree, Kightly and not Knightly. Lets hope Ade can find this name. Leon.

Old thread, but I have just acquired one of these LNER named helmets (Ebay) and I wondered if Ade might still has access to the "Railway Employment records 1833 - 1956" ? Outer is unmarked, interesting that it is named twice, Regards Gary

The labelling style looks identical to one I used to have..this appears to be standard across LNER

.....there’s a danger of us becoming trainspotters.......

Well I do have a thermos flask !

Is it possible to look for G Sellars please?

Also interesting in that Potterhanworth in Lincolnshire sounds quaint and charming in a sort of 'Oh ! Mr Porter..' way ( today it has a population of only 839..). But it's very close to the big Bomber Command bases of Waddington, Metheringham and Bardney so in WW2 would have been quite a busy railway station.
