Thanks Peter & Scott,

I didn't think that I had missed hearing about a green and gold E class. I
was aware of V56 being painted in these colours (I was lucky enough to
photograph it) but was pretty sure that the E class remained blue and gold
until the end.

It looks like the ARHS Museum have made a big mistake in their Museum Guide.

Thanks again,

Mark
