Hi Colin Thanks for report & photo's, my camera batteries were dead.
I did see you perched Hi up on the trailer, wasn't sure if you were going to stay there as you started off eek:
As you can guess I arrived late, I enjoyed the visit though definately one for next year, As I left i noticed Angelina receiving some attention in a lay by, hope it wasn't serious.
Bit of a nostalgia trip with the old Daimler buses, I may well have taken one of them to work or to the pub. Oh and the GCCG stand was interesting, along with the motorcycle stands.
Had a look at the Coventry Corporation Roller, My first memory of road steam was of a Roller in Hastings Road in about 1957, I thought it to be a larger Aveling, but then I was a lot smaller. Does anyone know what steam rollers were in the fleet in 1957, I seem to remember it having a canopy. Could have been a private contractor. What colours would they have been painted as a lot of Corporation vehicles were maroon. Anyway keep us updated on engine movements, one of these days i might manage to be early
As an aside, I took a wander around Back Lane, the site where Fowler Berkswell stood is a bit more overgrown than it was
