Indeed! a fantastic machine, turned back on saturday when the forecasted blue sky turned black, but happily today was better - slightly.. But I appear to have erroneously credited the RL as 8723 - not 8726...

One nice set up in the miniatures was this 4" Foster and drum, which captivated youngest daughter as you can see

Anthony, Ian, - we must have all been stood in a line!

A cracking Rally, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I called in on the off chance on the way back from Otterburn, the last time I was at Corbridge was in the early 70's with the Bass Sentinel Waggon!

Couldn't resist another one of the big Fowler...
