Mark, I would say yes, last time I saw the engine, it carried Turners name. After all, they do own Garrett Showmans Tractor Queen Of Great Britain now.

Nice to see Baggots Fowler out. Be nice to see that at a few more shows during the season.

Great place when the weather is fine , only a soft arena surface spoiled things a little but it was a cracking day out .
Even got to see a guy fire up a Merlin aero engine , pretty impressive and very loud .

I think you will be dissapointed then. The lads looking after it at Levens Hall told me that the plan was to only go to Flookburgh.

Shame really, they ought to take it out a bit more.... I know one of the chaps was wanting to take it down to Dorset the other year when I saw it...
