Welcome to the web site of the Battle of Britain Locomotive Society. The Society owns and operates restored ex-British Railways Bulleid 'Battle of Britain' class pacific locomotive Nº34081 92 SQUADRON, named after the famous Spitfire squadron based at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Entering service in September 1948, her brief career ended when she was withdrawn in August 1964 and sold to Woodhams scrap yard at Barry Island, South Wales.
 
Purchased from there by the then-named Battle of Britain Locomotive Preservation Society in autumn 1973, she arrived at Wansford, on the Nene Valley Railway, on 7 December 1976 where restoration commenced. Some 22 years later she moved under her own power for the first time since 1964 and has been a regular performer on Heritage Railways ever since.
