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 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!

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.
