A good time was had by all, especially the crew of fowler 15529. No pictures 'cos non of us can afford a camera!

If you had asked, I could have lent you my 1973 Praktica LTL 35mm film camera or my 1980's Yashica Samurai half frame SLR....... both cameras use wet film.

A splendid weekend Jim! Thoroughly enjoyed by all I would've thought! The weather was fantastic and the light and sound show from the sky on Thursday night was truly awe inspiring! Here's a few pics.

My son Henry in both pics of Janet, takes after his dad! Though I never got to drive a Burrell RL when I was 17!

I forgot to ask the crew, but what was the winding bollard used for on the flywheel of the unpainted/unlagged Aveling roller?

John, I think it was so you could use it to lift tar barrels on a tar boiler's davett crane.

I think it worked in a boatyard and was used for pulling boats out of the water

Brilliant rally. We made sure we were down on holiday to include this weekend and we are very glad we did. Well done to all those involved for putting on a cracking show.
