Great display of engines.

Shame the bloke that organised it was refused any passes to hand out, or even sent one himself.

So much for loyalty or thanks eh? Oh well once bitten and all that.

By all accounts was a good solid show after a few years of going tits up. At the end of the day thats all that matters.

Many years ago Fairford was a regular event for exhibitors from the Potteries. Excellent pictures, thanks for posting, that Paxman diesel looks impressive.

Gareth, I was going to give you a call this year, it would have been very late, and someone reliable, cant remember who now, told me you were sorting last minuite details ready for Dorset, Sue Yells is the new lady in the job next year, i will pass on your wish to come. Enjoy Dorset, cant wait to see your engine in the 'flesh'!! Nigel
