Many years back, probably around 1990, a small group of us were invited over to the annual steam and vintage rally at Haven Street station, from recollection, the ferry was paid for by the organisers. We had a great time touring the island before the show. The chap who owns the Ford 21A staff car in the photos on the Show thread was amongst our group and I think it was its first showing after restoration. The only down point being that the whole lot of us came down with a stomach bug. Not good when you are in a tent..........hope they now have an electric light in the loo on the station platform :-D.

 

Looks like you enjoyed good weather.

Catweazle,

 

That is correct, the first IMPS show there was in 1983 ( I stand to be corrected ) and think they may have had four there before moving to Beltring. The first year, Peter Gray brought his M10 along a real novelty, a private owned tank, now you see so many at shows. Corporal Jones from Dad's Army was guest one year and I received my prize from him.

 

They had a steam crane and loaded vehicles on trucks and took them down the line...........those were the days..........were you there?

[Guest catweazle (Banned Member)]

Mark would have got his QL about 1987, when I bought mine.

 

Will try and find some photos of Tenterden shows.
