It would appear to be a Garrett fitted with a Superheater just like the one owned by the Massey family.

Thank you for sharing your photos with us.

To people like myself who were not able to attend GDSF this year, it was like being there !

I really appreciate your efforts, many thanks.

It was Burrell 3455, Semper Fidelis actually.



I'll post some more pictures of it later because it was interesting.
