spanter Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Here are a few pictures of last weekends steam fayre near Biggleswade, we took over our steam engine and equipment a few tractors and a couple of cars but alas the jeep and dodge both are having brake problems so didn't make it. There was a varied military selection but obviously steam out numbered them (around 120 full size engines) and if the owner of the large Leyland 'SNAFU' is a member on here sorry for the little blue tractor packing up in front of you when you arrived :blush: This last Ford model T racer has the normal model t gearbox but it then has a further 3 speed gearbox, they've had it up to 50 in 2nd. And finally one for the great war fans Edited September 21, 2010 by spanter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanter Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yep next year we should have the dodge and jeep with restored trailer up there and there are rumours that they will try and put an off-road course in for the weekend Hopefully the military and commercial sections won't be in the furthest patch of field, bet it was quiet for you though.

Lewis Garner Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) That'd be great! All of us seemed to think it was a shame we were placed so far away from the heart of the show, despite the fact we were all right up on top of the hill we still attracted plenty of attenton :-). Are you attending Haynes working festival next weekend? Edited September 21, 2010 by Lewis Garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 No can't do Haynes as I've got an appointment with walking down an aisle, and she'd kill me if I did anything vehicle related - Shuttleworth has a meet the pilots themed airshow on saturday where people can wander around aircraft, cars and people in period dress in the car park before we drag the aircraft out to fly. Was great last year but we'll have to wait til next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
