Thumbs up I will be there!

Was hoping to bring the old rust bucket, but can't fit it all in.

Will be bringing the living van over & crewing on Mr Rackham's Aveling Tractor instead.



Cheers

Dan

Thumbs up Thanks for the photos

Good to see some photos of the day & to see that my old LzR managed to get in on one of them! But at least Mr Rackham's Aveling was in there too

Thanks for those involved for a great day, as an engine owner. I felt very warmly welcome & well look after. Only hope that next time I will get to bring mine own over!
Also thanks to Mr Higgs for crewing & looking after the Aveling today, only hope he wasn't missing any of his duties!?!
Even if you didn't by me an ice cream. Not that I would mention it of course!
(It's going to take a very long time to live that one down, I hope you know that?!?)



Cheers

Dan
