Best of luck Alain; hope you can avert a potential disaster.

Thanks Paul. Enjoy the rally. Cheers

Paul, just out of interest which show is that? Thanks Andrew

ROMM is Right Old Moaning Mincer!

I have to agree it is a cracking looking van that was, hence the photos of it. They are difficult to find these days.

Alain, a fascinating post and a very interesting dig I would have thought.

Also are you using the proper oil for air cooled engines? You should be using SAE30 oil otherwise know a s lawn mower oil as the oil is formulated specially for air cooled engines.

This morning I attended the rally as a visitor to have a good mosey around. There were very few garden tractors on show except for a Simplicity and a Jacobsen. The rally was a very relaxed affair and had a good selection of vintage tractors, bikes, vehicles and oif course stationary engines. Spoke to a chap who created a replica Field Marshall tractor to scale. There was even a working steam fired thrashing engine working. A very enjoyable event and worth making the effort to attend. Here are some photos.

I heard rumours that you were a bit of a dreamer!

Chris, at least we know where we can get them........

Alain, looks absolutely brilliant. Your attention to detail is spot on and seeing this example will want me to get a H16.

I like the stance on the last photo too Ian.

There's a distinct regional differences to real ale around the country. I enjoy Timothy Taylor's Landlord Ales.

Welcome to MOM Sparrow. That's very unusual and a interesting buy. Look forward to seeing more photos of its restoration. Cheers

Alain, another superb job on the Bolens.

I like bitter and Real Ale myself and fortunately for me the SW has a plethora of good breweries to keep me lubricated!

I thought you Yorkshire lads were into beer and real ale?!

Tom, you are wasting no time on recommissioning your CC. Well done. I hope to be at Rural Past Times myself.

Great atmospheric photos of your latest Bolens. Looking forward to seeing more of them. I bet your son got his eye on one of them.

Good find George. You going for it?

Thanks Nigel for the info. It' would make sense that it was a fighter base due to its location near to Lnodon and the Luftwaffe fighter bases in Northern France. By the way your Landy conversion looks the DB! Cheers

Look like a fascinating place to visit when I am next back in Sussex. Was it a fighter or a bomber base during the war?

I like the guard dog on the red tractor! Look like you all enjoyed yourselves. What sort of visitors numbers were there?

Thanks Ian. You must be getting close to finishing WN ?

Looks a very interesting show and the photos are good. What's the yellow tractor with the FEL?
