Default Torbay Steam Fair 3rd, 4th & 5th of August 2018, Full size Steam.

The full size steam at as always a very enjoyable event in Devon, some Static, in the Arena and in a decent working area, Threshing, Sawing and Ploughing.
Thanks to the organisers, volunteers and the many Exhibitors in all the sections and thankfully some decent dry but very hot weather.

And Sandie that does so much to make Torbay Rally a success, compiling the programme, assisting with commentating and various other duties and now participating in the invitation steering on Marshall "Midnight Rumbler" from Allen Eaton MBE.

And with a Road trip into Brixham on Saturday evening in the Foden Tractor for Fish and Chips compliments of Trystan and KevIn.

And with some friendly banter from KevIn a very enjoyable evening.

Firstly, thank you for sharing your photos with us.
Secondly, due to ill health, the 2018 Tavistock Steam fair ws the first rally that I had attended for four years. I had hoped to attend the Torbay Steam Fair this year but once again I have been grounded through health issues. From your photos it was good to see a variety of new engines at the rally and the organisers have to be congratulated on a good show once again.

if I am well enough, I hope to go to the WESES rally at Stithians in two weeks time and I am looking forward to it!
