Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza 2009 (Large Pics)

Not to forget the two superb steam cars that attended



BS 9540 Model 70 Stanley #5095 of 1910.



BF 4876 Model 72 Stanley #6120 of 1911.

All in all an excellent event, by far the best this year. Does anyone know why 'Oriana' UW 1329 carries a works plate #12956 instead of it's correct identity #17287?. The engine crew were looking after it for the owner, so were not sure as to why.

Probably just to confuse people

Sorry that it was wet when some people came to the rally on Saturday, but to put the record straight the weather was not all crap - Friday and Sunday were great , and for those of us who were there all weekend, Saturday evening was dry too - great run to the pub.... As I have written elsewhere, massive thanks and all credit to Matt and Rachel, and to all the engine crews and owners who kept the arena full even in driving rain on Saturday. It also kept the commentator on his toes, and very wet!!
