Class 42 'Warship', D818, named Glory, lies derelict at Swindon Works, 30/08/85. This locomotive was withdrawn in December 1972 after a service life of approximately 12 years. It languished in Swindon Works for the remaining 13 years of its existance, being occasionally used for apprentice painting practise. Despite being listed as preserved by a number of publications, D818 was cut up for scrap in October 1985 as part of the rundown and eventual closure of Swindon Works.
