MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Royal Diary - Boy’s Own Exhibition & Chelsea Flower Show. DESCRIPTION: A fine collection of locos, on show in London at a railway engineering anniversary, were inspected by Prince Philip. Also present were Sir Brian Robertson and Dr Beeching, his successor. The Prince unveiled the diesel loco Magpie. Having once commanded a warship of that name, he now took command on the run to Windsor.
