Hi Harry - Can't see the pictures I'm afraid. You need to upload them to a server.

This was a good event I thought. Nice relaxed atmosphere.

EJ545 where did that Garrett start its life?

Great pictures.

It started life owned by the ministry of munitions, the next owner is unrecorded

Presumably she must have been in North Wales at some point, just wondered where.

For the record, she left the works 1st October 1918, sold in one of the many government sales 1919 to Malcolm Bloomfield, Debenham, Suffolk. Late 1920 Bloomfield's carried out the conversion to showman's tractor for Fred Harris, showman who's winter quarters were at Clare, Suffolk. She worked throughout until my father purchased her early 1954 from Fred.

In regards to the Carmarthenshire registration, according to Alan Duke and Tony Brown following WW1 the government allowed registrations from little used districts to be allocated to vehicles from other areas, due to the high demand of Ex Ministry vehicles requiring registrations.

'EJ' is actually a Cardiganshire registration number.
