Weald of Kent Steam Rally 5-6 Aug 2017


Recommended Posts

As the title suggests, show is mainly steam traction and farmers on tractors, but the classic commercial vehicle section is a reasonable turn out and the MV section grows every year.

Hi Rob,

It was good to meet you at last! This show has gained a good reputation in the 4 years that it has been running. It is very local for me and a good chance to catch up with old acquaintances. The Saturday evening entertainment with Dr. Busker was great stuff as well. I enjoy these mixed shows with steam, tractors, commercials as well as mv's.

 

The searchlight truck is a Tilling Stevens petrol electric (although I think this one might have a Perkins in it now). I well remember Bill Hooker taking his petrol one to GDSF when it was at Stourpaine (1987) and lighting up at night.

 

regards, Richard
