      In the 1950s and 60s, I recall meeting several English gentlemen in the west of Ireland who had retired there in twilight years. Some of these had been involved in the Second World War - recall one with a very grand accent and handlebar moustache. He had been an RAF pilot, who boasted in very un-PC terms about the people he had dropped bombs on…. In reality, people like this often privately flew for enjoyment well into their older years. Here we see a picture taken by former Wing Commander Tarquin Smythe-Plumley-Chumley from his Cessna 3-seater in summer 1966, as the 11:40 local leaves Dugort Harbour…..

      Irish Railway PW wagon livery in the 1950 to 1960

      By jhb171achill · Posted

      Plain wagon grey at that stage. With extremely few exceptions, departmental stock at that time was standard wagon grey. The running number would typically end in “A”, thus 456A or 207A on the side, in standard wagon-style font. Chassis same colour as wagon; if it was a crew coach, same plain grey (green with red ends later on), but with dark grey / black roof. Flying Snails sometimes painted, usually stencilled, in white. After 1963, roundels which could variously be all-white or tan surround. Many or most wagons had “PWD” stencilled on sides. Steam cranes either wagon grey or black.
