Gloucestershire Steam Extravaganza 2010

Loads to see, as always, a new layout and hundreds of of TT members! A selection from me:

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...5_DSC_8606.jpg
Excellent collection of rollers as is the norm at Kemble.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...8_DSC_8609.jpg
Aveling 5853 was at Kemble in steam for the first time

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...7_DSC_8761.jpg
Burrell 2003 "Diamond Queen" now lives locally and was attending Kemble for the first time.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...0_DSC_8799.jpg
Tasker Convertible Tractor 1902 was hauling round the original front roll from the engine.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...6_DSC_8805.jpg
Fowler T3 15964 has changed appearance recently with new livery and now with no canopy.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...1_DSC_8816.jpg
An engine I've not come across before, Aveling 11446, Seagry.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...8_DSC_8836.jpg
Engine John's 6" Burrell RL pulling 30 odd tons of Burrell hardware.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...5_DSC_8931.jpg
All eyes were on the Vulcan bomber.

http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/tth/10...2_DSC_8957.jpg
Then the rain came.

Well done to the organisers and thank you to everybody who has attended with exhibits.

A cracking event again.

A superb collection of exhibits - with the Vulcan being the icing on my cake.

The one tiny thing that really impressed us most was being offered a wrist band for our eldest to put a mobile number on - such a simple idea but one we had not seen at a rally before.

Despite the rain we really enjoyed it (coats, trousers etc still drying now!). Great to catch up with a lot of people too

Looking forward to next year.

Ace! So many nice engines. Looks like a brilliant do. The little T3 in Fowler brown looks really good.

.

That is a cracking idea!
Cheers Carl.

We have been doing this for several years now, and we are pleased to say it works extremely well and cuts down any stressful periods during 'incidents' for parents and organisors alike.

A superb weekend.

Thanks to Matt and Rachel for their efforts.

Thanks should also go to Sawman for his hospitality, to Ted for cheffing lunches for 20, to Sarah for making Chilli for 20 odd and to the various providers of beer!

Good company and a brilliant rally.

Great to see the youngsters being allowed to get hands on.

Thanks to all.

Having seen the best of the photos, I am still going to bore you with ours. You will just have to wait until I can upload them. Watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like to say it was our 1st time at Kemble and what a great rally, Thank you Matt and everyone who made it a fab weekend roll on next year. It was nice to put a few faces to the TT members at last A special thanks to Bill & Tom was great to see you both again and have a catch up. ( hope you had your finger checked Bill ) See you at Dorset xx

We both certainly did enjoy our rides. Should have video up later this week. Thanks for everything including our washing water. Will make an effort to find more info on your roller when we get home in november

Great photo of the golf buggy Roy. (An origina)l. Its a shame you got me on Royal Sovereign doing some work for a change and I see the missis is on the phone as usual. Keep them coming

Anyone can do standard front-three-quarter shots with not a soul in sight Craig. I like a bit of action - sort of Candid Camera. I think it creates more interest. But that is the way I am.

Glad the hiss has gone. Would enjoy another recording session, but your profile says you do not live anywhere! And I am not good at finding anywhere. Anyway I am sure you would not steam up especially just for me, so perhaps we can try again next year.

Thanks to all the Kemble staff and the photographers who share on here i never seem to have my camera with me when its needed

PM me with your name and full address and you can have a copy of everything we took including the videos done on your engine & trailer. We will not be home until November but can do it then

Hi,

Just a few from me...

The last shot of the compound Fowler was the engine I was lucky enough to steer around the ring late on Sunday. Absolutely fantastic! :D

Most flashers only have a dirty raincoat !

I had just commented over the PA that the last time I remember seeing a Vulcan in flight was back in the sixties in Bristol when they used one to in flight test the engine for Concorde by flying with one fitted below the bomb bay. Just after I had said it the Vulcan came over again - with the bomb bay doors open. Someone not far away from me said "They must have heard you".....
