HMS Sultan Summer Show 2008
 

Roaded home yesterday after another great show at Sultan.

Weather was very kind to us, with a good road run Saturday night. Ended nicely in the evening with a BBQ & session in the beer tent!!

Sunday's weather was grand, with even more people than Saturday.

Many thanks to Shane & the others for sorting out another great show. Here's to next years show as I would love to attend again.


Cheers

Dan


P.S Has anyone got any photo's from the event?

Dan

I've put some photos on the Discussion page under the title 'Sultan Summer Show.'

Hi, You won't believe me.

But I have only just seen them after posting this!!! "D'oh";)


Good photo's, by the way.

Dan

I've got a couple of you that I'll put on as well as soon as I can get into Photobucket!

Thanks that would be grand.

Cheers

Dan

I had a great afternoon crewing for Dan on his roller. Much easier than mine on the road and a throttle that you do not have to have popeye forearms to operate! Very much appreciated Dan, thanks.

Great show, good to see 15/16 engines turned out for what is really a navy based show and not a steam rally in the traditional sense. Almost the better for it. Keep up the good work.

Please can I come next year?

Glad you had a good time, thanks for your help. Not bad for an Aveling driver!! ;)

And of course you can come along with me next year;), you only have to ask!!:p
( I take it you mean you would like to go with your engine?)


Dan

Hi,

Thanks for those thats great, but what a shock. I didn't know I was that ugly!!:p

And the last photo looks like the three wise monkeys plus the black sheep of the family!!;)
Or all four of us pretending that we know what Ian is holding forth about!!:), Just smiling and nodding in the right places.(Or at least we hope!)


Cheers

Dan

Actually we thought it looked more like the seven dwarfs...but two of them seem to have run off somewhere:
stinky
steamy
grouchy
shorty
sooty

And I suppose I would have to be 'Sooty' then!?! ;)


Cheers

Dan

Unless you fancy being 'stinky!!!!!'

Mind you, after cleaning my tubes on Sunday, I probably would have made a better 'sooty!'

No your right, I think I will stick with 'Sooty'.

As you say, I found the coal burnt very well. But a lot of soot & ash the next morning.


Cheers

Dan

May I also say thanks to Shane and the Team for an excellent weekend. I thought the commentary was great!!!!!!!!

Thank you also to Dan for keeping me out of mischief on Sunday!
Also to Chippie Dave.

And no, Ian can't remember what he was pontificating about also......short term memory loss strikes again.
Jill

I totally agree Jill, the commentary was excellent!!! Shame I couldn't hear any of it!!!! My fault for having a Fowler I suppose!!!

It's a good job on both accounts.....not hearing the commentary AND having a Fowler!!

Jill

Not sure if I was keeping you out of mischief or in it!! ;)


Cheers

Dan

Oh, in mischief I hope!!!

Take care
Jill
