Notes :
(1) Postponed from January 27th 1963 for reason(s) unknown. Nick Lawrence, who
travelled on the tour throughout, comments:
by the time the tour ran there were no Kings left in service, hence their
non-appearance on the tour – the return leg was supposed to bring a King to
Leeds, and many disappointed spotters had gathered at Leeds City to witness the
(very late) arrival – I remember them “booing” the arrival of the Clan!
(2) For visits to shed, Stafford Road & Works.
