How many on here used to go the Rushmoor steam and vintage shows?

 

This outfit used to be rallied by Jeff Theobald. Especially picked this photo, taken in 1986, for Graham with the K6 Gantry, because he asked recently for a photo of the 7.5 ton recovery trailer.

CW,

 

I once came across a display of WW2 military vehicles in the grounds of Powerham Castle in Devon, guess it would have been in mid 70's. Found out later it was Jeff's collection, I am sure there was a Humber Hexonaut there. Later I think he had some vehicles in Warnham museum.

:rofl:Its you:rofl:

 

Is it :confused:.............ah yes, just looked on the shelf, a shield saying "Steaming Home"..."Best Motor Cycle in Show"...............presented to me by Cpl Jack Jones of Warmington-on-Sea Home Guard :-D

Hi Graham,

 

That is the complete trailer, 6 wheels, remember in those days, the speed limit would have been about 20 mph for that weight. Not really possible now, but would look good. The vacuum brake connection on the K6 is for this trailer.

[Richard Farrant]

I remember Jonesy was there.

 

CW,

 

Here is Cpl Jones at Tenterden.

ha ha speed limit 20mph i would have thought 5mph towing that with a k6

 

regards graham

The K6 would have been just as bad doing a suspended tow, so long as you did not go over 20 mph, that would be fine :-D

You will notice RHD Jeeps and Dodge weapons carrier . LHD vehicles were banned here ( state of Victoria ) in 1948, this resulted in many RHD conversions, many of which were backyard botch jobs . The chap riding the Harley is a WW2 vet , Keith Gardiner . I was in my Jeep . We visited Fort Queenscliff , which was manned and active during WW2 . A few guys from then are still active in the scene .

 

Mike in Australia .

Top one is from the Longmoor Military Railway, could be a US engine, not sure. The one at bottom left is Southern Railway, West Country class "Bodmin" and on right another Southern engine, S15 class

 

Not a rail anorak, my old Dad spent his war service in Southern Railway workshops and had a great interest in steam.

CW,

 

Previous picture of QL? Not seen one, Richard had a whole fleet of them at one time. Don't recognise the Dingo, no serial numbers to go by. Reckon the bikes are Tom's. Your pal the PC from Battersea........I reckon I have met him in the days when I used to show my M20.

[Guest catweazle (Banned Member)]

Nowt wrong with rail anorak,as a kid used to get the train from kings cross to hitchen(on a platform ticket of course)to wait for the Deltic to come thro at 100mph.:cool2::cool2::cool2::shake:
