It was nice to see the photos of the Fowler roller "Britannia". This is the first time that I have seen this particular engine since the mid 1970's.

It's my understanding that she has recently been purchased by Jim Wilkinson - I think she has was at Dingles for a while beforehand.

When did you last visit Dingles then? Very surprised you had not seen it since 1970s. As stated above it was there for many years - until Jim bought it. This was in 2007.....
