Default Royal Cornwall Show - 6 June 2013

Royalty at the Royal Cornwall Show today, in addition to Princess Ann, Foster 14446 The Leader made it's return to the rally field:





















When I heard the rumours at Rockingham Castle that the Leader was planning to attend the RCS I couldn't resist going down to see her. I can just about remember the engine attending one of the Newhall Street rallies, not sure how long it is since it went to a rally but I should have thought at least 25 years.

I'm told the engine has several other rally appearances planned for this season, including Boconnoc.

There was a nice display of other engines, nearly all working. Some of the other engines in attendance:



















First event out for this Floether portable, possibly the only Floether which can be steamed anywhere in the world:











And loads more country show related stuff to look at, well worth a visit.
