Here's a ground picture of XW309 taken at the 1970 Leuchars show.
As you can see it's not carrying any team markings. This could be Dave Coldicutt getting into it.
XW309 / 68 was in the 1972 Blades Brochure, but currently I don't have any evidence that it was used in the '72 season.
It's now in Hartlepool college as an instruction frame
