FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY

GB / US
1988
1hr 45mins
Dir: Martin Stellman
Starring: Denzel Washington and George Baker

A black soldier is discharged from the British military but struggles to find gainful employment in the face of racism and corruption

This crime drama is largely shot on location in South London and in one scene as Denzel Washington walks through an inner-city estate, a Gatwick Express service with Class 73 propelling passes in the background.

The Gatwick Express service is running across the top of the wall. The luggage van at the front is quite clear.
Though unfortunately by the time the Class 73 comes into view on the rear people are in the way. The locos were always on the country end of the train, meaning that this particular service is heading into London Victoria.
