This is me steering "Surprise" in 1964, driven by Chris Rockliff, with children Brian and Margaret in the bunker.
We kept "Billy Boy" at Chris Rockliff's farm at Beningboro near York for a while until our engine shed had been built at home, At the same time, Chris bought the sister engine to Billy Boy called "Kathleen" which is also still owned by the family and shown in the Duncombe photo's above in its working clothes.
The year after I got to drive the 2" scale Jim Burlingham model of "Surprise" at Masham rally.
