Glad you had a good time Ronj, we was lucky again with the weather and in my opinion Sunday was the better day as it was overcast on the Saturday.

Straight From Program

1951 Freelance showmans SteamWagon

Originally built as a steam special tractor by Father and Son, Jim and Walter Borthwick of Cleghorn Bridge. The Horizontal single cylinder Bryan Donkin engine came from Stranraer gas works.
Robin and Rachel purchased it from Micheal Wilkinson in 2009, having owned it for a few years they wanted to get back to steam again, and wanted a challenge and something different, Bitza certainly is different.

Owned by Robin and Rachel Neave, Alderholt

Hope This Helps

@Rodger

I'm not sure, Tiny should be able to tell you. It might have been through preston or something.
