Photo's from Ireland

This may not be the place to put this thread or I may have missed them.

Do we not have any TT members in Eire or Northern Ireland who attend rallies and take photo's.

There may be more members like me who never leave these shores so we never get to see engines from over the water.

I went to Durrow Vintage Tractor Rally while on holiday in Eire earlier this year. They had a few steam there:-

Also TT member Celtic Steamer (Tom Tynan) has a Facebook page where he keeps putting up traction engine pictures.

Tom also brought 2 engines over from Ireland to South Cerney this year, and Irish McLarens are often seen at GDSF.

Thanks Roy.

I had thanked you on your above quoted thread (sorry getting old). Wasn't able to get to South Cerney or GDSF this year.

Arthur

It's OK Arthur. I have same problem. Over 21 and the memory is going.
Just doing Bishop's Castle Michaelmas Fair and Welland to end this year of rallies.
Not been to Mildenhall since 1974 (service at RAF Honington)

Is that the ex Jack Hampshire, and Tarrant family wagon, if so I have some great photos of it at its old home just down the road from here!

Sure is Robin,

Great thread, keep them coming folks, really want to get over to Ireland next year :)

It was definitely Jack Hampshires as I have his books and he worked with my grandfather in his youth.

Thanks to David (Bosiboz), George (Wadg) and Sean (Mad for it) its a great set of photo's.

I shall have to get a passport for the misses and myself, hitch up the caravan and get on over there before I get to much older.

Thanks once more to all, it looks to be a good thread.

You don't need a passport - Eire is part of the Greater Euopean Superstate. Photo id such as a driving licence will do.

Thanks again to you David. Something else I've learnt today. So you are not to old to learn if you want to.

Heres some videos I have uploaded to Youtube.
