Bill Targett Steam Show 2013
 

We are "going back to our roots"! This years show will take place at the Highbridge site where it was held for several years.
This is a smaller but more intimate site situated 1 mile to the East of Eastleigh, Hampshire. This years show dates are Saturday/ Sunday, 18th-19th May. Details/ entries, see www.billtargettrally.co.uk. See you there!

Mike.

Just to bump this back up.

Several engines made their way over today.

Looking forward to it, our first time out on the new rubber!

Really sad as we won't be there this year with Victoria as she is still in the paintshop but we are hoping to visit you one day over the weekend to catch up with everyone...

Followed Five engines in on Saturday, nice little trip from Southampton and got some good photos for my book. Dan and Douglas will be the first to say the weather couldnt make its mind up, it was raining one second than sunny the next! Hoping to pop over Saturday!

Cracking shot Robin, thanks.

Also note the way the safety chains are attached which is how i was shown it should be done on a steerable drawbar trailer.

There are also some on the living van, but you cannot quite see them in this shot. They are sythethic lifting strop's, dont damage the living van timber chassis members.

Just been out to see if we could find any engines, We were just ready to give up when we came back down towards Cheriton and we saw The Savages Ransomes Wagon. Got a picture, not brilliant quality, only taken with my phone.
