    And finally (on all things Bongo, perhaps)...

    "It's demeaning for Kenya's elegant bongo antelope to be caught up in the tawdry debate about "bongo bongo land" (Report, 9 August). The eastern or mountain bongo is a seriously endangered species, largely confined to Kenya's Aberdare mountains. Fortunately a 400km electrified fence now surrounds the entire Aberdares - built by conservation charity Rhino Ark, in partnership with the Kenya government and private-sector organisations - protecting the bongo and other wildlife, while providing security for forest-edge farming communities. The success of the fence has led to similar fences being planned for Mount Kenya and Mount Mau Eburu - both now under construction.

    Much more important: Thompson LNER B1 4-6-0 locomotive that gave the unofficial name to the whole class. Officially the Antelope class, they were always known by spotters as "bongos".
