060180 BG Hop fields 240524

A Mk1 BG completly mangled. Hop fields in the background. Brakedown crane in operation.
Thanks to Trevor Barham for the following
I think the photo shows the Ashford Steam Crane having lifted the BG parcels van clear at Marden. The Crash occured on 4th Jan 1969 when a Victoria to Dover train formed of 2 x 4CEPs hit the back of a parcels train in thick fog.
