Smithy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sunday 18th April saw us attend the 2nd Chasewater Festival of Transport. There were around 400 different vehicles on show and thousands of people with the show being a free one, the sunshine helped as well There were a handful of vehicles on display with military backgrounds. Below are my pictures from the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Great stuff...seeing these smaller less "sexy" events is really refreshing. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Cheers Guys. Its often at these kinds of shows that you find something that you perhaps haven't seen before, thats why I try and fit as many in as I can each year. As regards the 432 I don't know if it's local or not to the area, I persume it couldn't have come too far with it only being a one day event - although saying that there were vehicles that had travelled a good distance. It was with the AEC Militant I think but that had an out of date tax disc while the 432 didn't have one at all so I persume that they must have had other transport to get to the show but didn't see anything sitting around.

chevpol Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 my dad went to this one, said it was a good one (I was a bit busy, or else would have attended!!) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yes it was a very good one, it was helped by the lovely weather and also that it is a free event. The show certianly has a nice feeling to it and hopefully it will continue to flourish, although with the way it is going it could quite easily outgrow its current site.
