IIRC = If I recall correctly.

You must be a very old man to recall any of this! :-)


I seem to remember reading about it, possibly in a book about Sturrock's
period as locomotive engineer of the GNR, but I can't remember the
reference or details, hence the "IIRC". "Recall" can refer to something
you read about...
