I never went to Butlins, but did pass near to the Minehead camp on the way to Lands End on a coach tour which my summer 72 holiday. I saw the steam loco you mention, DC, it was Duchess of Hamilton, 46229, and it is now in the NRM in York. It was moved out of Minehead in 75 and returned to steam in 1980. I have seen it and photographed it many times when it was a main line performer on specials in the 80s.
