Great photos there Arthur, thanks for sharing! The R.M Wooley waggon is one I don't recognise, newly returned to the scene? The only standard on pneumatics I recall was the one at Harrisons in Sheffield? No doubt someone knows more than I :D

The Standard on blow ups was ex John Nudd from Cheshire.

A Superb Waggon not often seen away from South Shropshire. I walked across the field just to see it.

Indeed it is, i had not seen it since it in the flesh since it's been in Dick Woolley's colours.

A shot from the Society Archive at the Bshops Castle rally in 1980
and programme entry

18)Sentinel Standard Waggon Reg. No. NY344 No. 3976 New 1921.
Supplied new to Crosswell's Brewery, Cardiff, worked until 1946, when purchased by J. Radcliffe, Forest of Dean. Lay derelict until 1962, when purchased by R. M. Wooley. Bought by present owner in scrap condition in 1976, nearly completely rebuilt over period of 4 years. This is the first rally it has ever attended. Restoration is still taking place.
Owner: John and Lynn Nudd, Great Boias, Telford

A picture full of nostalgia there. John Nudd (sadly no longer with us) just in shot at right. The Pirate and his Dad at left.In the lighter overalls in right background could be 8/10's Dad. The maroon showmans van at right was mine....... and the ditch between the caravans and exhibits that everyone fell into at some time over the weekend! Happy days!

That's our old Monza caravan and awning in the background and Volvo estate ! Joe's boot's would have been lurking in the awning !:p

Just a question to those that know, why does the cab of the I N Woollett waggon have a different shape to the others?

Douglas

Because it is an SDDG4 model. A development of the DG, pre S model. Only one four wheeler made and two SDDG6 six wheelers.

And as poor Doug may well not be up with the acronyms

the SDDG4, sometimes refereed to as a SD4, is a prototype Shaft Drive version of the DG4, itself a Double Geared improvement of the Super Sentinel. The DG's and everything earlier were chain drive.

They brought in the numbers in about 1927 when they brought out the DG6 6 wheeler.

Its an interesting thing, basically the DG cab layout with the boiler out front, but what is basically an engine like the later 'S' types but fitted the other way around. So 4 cylinder single acting engine, rather than a 2 cylinder double acting engine like the earlier waggons. Obviously with 2 gears as the DG and later S

I seem to remember reading that at least one of the prototypes (probably a 6 wheeler) had what was basically a DG engine turned through 90 degrees, very like how Fodens did shaft drive with the Speed wagons.

Indeed it is - the corner of our old living van is just visible to the left of yours Bob.
I remember the Sentinel coming to the rally.

On a low loader as I recall, not common for a Sentinel at that time

Actually it wasn't that uncommon, there was plenty of talking a good run, then as now, but many Sentinels were owned by hauliers back then so transporting was fairly easy, I remember an event in Suffolk around 1981 with about 10 Sentinels only 2 of which steamed both there and away, mind you 1 was grounded on site by a tube going.

Thanks Hedd, you are right in that I am not that familiar with the intricacies of Sentinel production, just the generalities. I have not seen it before so I thought I would ask.
