The indignity of it all .....

Bradley Manor, a GWR 4-6-0 engine, built in Swindon in 1938, being ignominiously transported on the back of a flat bed truck to - anybody know?
This shot was taken in late September on the motorway south of Bristol. The truck was headed south towards Exeter.

I know that the engine was last in use on the Severn Valley Railway, and there's loads of great videos on-line showing it working there, but the engine is no longer listed on its website, so where's it off to? The "Torbay Express" maybe??
