The SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes, collectively known as Light Pacifics or informally as Spam Cans, are air-smoothed 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotives designed for the Southern Railway by its Chief Mechanical Engineer Oliver Bulleid. Incorporating a number of new developments in British steam locomotive technology, they were amongst the first British designs to use welding in the construction process, and to use steel fireboxes, which meant that components could be more easily constructed under wartime austerity and post-war economy.

Davon wurden noch 70 Stück an die Southern Railways ausgeliefert, die restlichen 40 Exemplare gingen ab 1948 an die staatlichen British Railways (BR), in denen die SR infolge des Transport Act 1947 aufgegangen war. Sie waren eine in ihren Maßen etwas reduzierte Version der Merchant Navy Class der SR und wie diese offiziell Mehrzwecklokomotiven, wurden aber vor allem vor den Expresszügen der Southern Railways bzw. der Southern Region von British Railways eingesetzt, teilweise auch auf nac (de)
