You have Aveling & Porter 2602, my understanding it was 7024 'Baroness', or at least the boiler on the right is.

Some of the parts of Aveling & Porter 2603 ( not 2602 ) are in Brian's yard although clearly ' below the radar' and missed by the camera!

Too right! We drove back through Salisbury and I was thinking normally when I drive up this road I am looking forward to a long hot bath.

I took 300+ pics in all so I may have got them somewhere! There was an amazing amount of kit in Brian's yard, it was a real treat.
