not sure, the year I went with the Ransommes (long time ago) the coal that was, could only loosely be described as coal.

It was black thats about where the resemblance to coal stopped. Luckily last years coal was supplied by Andy Holmes so was good stuff.

You might well find some of that coal in the hedges between Weeting and home cant think how it got there.

If anyones interested I fitted a small camera to one of my toy aeroplanes and flew over the weeting rally field (on one of our club days, not when the rally was on!). Its quite interesting to see the model train track layout and Little Barford chuffing up the train line. Go to youtube and look for videos by steamfly3535 or just steamfly (I cant remember what name I used!) you will see what I mean. I wouldn't mind overflying the site last thing at night I think the fair etc would look great.

Lets hope they have not resorted back to the smokey old crap they used to use. If so there will be a black smoke trail from Weeting to Billericay on the Sunday night!

Jim - it sounds like you will be dropping the fire after the first hour .

It just goes to show that some rally organisers never learn , or never want to .

If the exhibitors are unhappy then the public are not likely to enjoy themselves either .
