Hanno,

Just returned from 7 days at Beltring, a lot of new vehicles not seen there before. Yes, there was dust but good efforts were made by the fire crew to keep the roadways damped down with an ex-RAF Thornycroft Mk9 crash tender.

Today, last day, Sunday, started with light drizzle which cleared away by 3pm allowing an aircraft to drop Poppies over the site. The water did not really penetrate the ground as when driven over the mud lifted away to reveal dust!

Hanno, there were two South Australian Railway built carriers there, the other was one brought in by David Shopland and his son, James.

Very good show from my point of view, met many from all parts of the world as usual. Tired out now, so off for an early night.

Richard
