Programme said the steam parade was 12:30, the web site said it was 2:30, there was a sign at rally control saying it was 4:30 and it actually turned out to be 3:30 - standard Hollowell logic...

Looks like a Mac to me, poss No. 682.

Looks like the weather was fantastic unlike up here where I am.
I will check out Steam Scenes for the rest of the photos in a few days .
I have also noticed that some event web sites quote a figure for steam exhibits and the actual number was way lower .
It is disappointing when the numbers are down because I may choose one event instead of another purely based on the expected show content , especially when there is two or more events on the same weekend.

Yea brilliant show again. Sunday turned out nice in the end, and was quite warm in the sunshine, and at least it was dry for packing away and loading up etc after a damp morning....
