Thumbs up HMS Sultan Summer Show 2008

Roaded home yesterday after another great show at Sultan.

Weather was very kind to us, with a good road run Saturday night. Ended nicely in the evening with a BBQ & session in the beer tent!!

Sunday's weather was grand, with even more people than Saturday.

Many thanks to Shane & the others for sorting out another great show. Here's to next years show as I would love to attend again.


Cheers

Dan


P.S Has anyone got any photo's from the event?

I had a great afternoon crewing for Dan on his roller. Much easier than mine on the road and a throttle that you do not have to have popeye forearms to operate! Very much appreciated Dan, thanks.

Great show, good to see 15/16 engines turned out for what is really a navy based show and not a steam rally in the traditional sense. Almost the better for it. Keep up the good work.

Please can I come next year?

Glad you had a good time, thanks for your help. Not bad for an Aveling driver!!

And of course you can come along with me next year, you only have to ask!!
( I take it you mean you would like to go with your engine?)

Thanks for those thats great, but what a shock. I didn't know I was that ugly!!

Actually we thought it looked more like the seven dwarfs...but two of them seem to have run off somewhere:
stinky
steamy
grouchy
shorty
sooty
