Steve D on a Trusty, best put some photos on another forum quick !!

Found this in the literature collection...

Good lad

I assume it was a previous exhibit or something that used to work for its keep ??

Here's some more photos... The last one shows a trailer a bit fuller than it was at the start of the day !!

It certainly got some interest Steve I googled ladybird mower and found out some information on it, unlike the Nash Boadiceas for which very little information has come to light...

Looks a bid sad Steve, it does look like a Pattison

Haven't got one mate, can I borrow yours next time ??

At the start of a very long day yesterday, we went to Christchurch in Dorset to pick this up before coming back to Eastleigh in Hampshire for the Bill Targett Memorial Rally Its a Ladybird electric mower, made in the late 40's and early 50's by a company named Metalair I saw it on that well known auction website and mine was the only bid, I'm pleased with it as its a bit unusual and almost looks like an electric version of the Nash Boadicea mower of which between Steve D and myself are now three in number...

More photos...

Steve Denness, his son Adam and myself had a great day in Hampshire yesterday at the Bill Targett Memorial Rally, something of everything and lots to see. We took a car and trailer load of exhibits and the display seemed to be very interesting to a lot of the public It was very warm and sunny, so I think we will need the bigger trailer and a gazebo next year !! Here's some photos...

Nigel told me about the forum, Neil asked me to be a moderator...

Well done Ethan, good lad

Hope the towbar fits Chris, will save you a couple of bob if it does

Polish the floor more like !!

Nice to see the youngsters gettting involved, they are the future of this hobby Ethan better watch where he's driving though Kev,he's already had one headlight out of that Bolens !!

Nice little machines and not expensive Will put some photos of yesterday on later, sorry Wheelhorse boys, nowt there for you !!

Don't worry Neil I did just the same at Ardingly !! When I was trying to start my B115 without success, Mr Showman calmly looked at me and said the magic words "Have you switched the fuel on ??" Boy did I feel daft...

Starting to load up this evening...

If push comes to shove you can have my spare set mate

All useful bits for current and future projects no doubt Ian !!

Looking good mate

Will be detouring slightly to Dorset on Saturday morning to pick up a new toy, photos on here when I get it...

Owning one of each type I would say the Cub Cadet is heavier personally...

Dopey here appears to have booked in twice coz another load of paperwork has arrived today Never mind, the "second" Commando 8 has magically become a Cyclone trailed spreader !!
