Great Dorset 2011 Sightings
Dan and I attended the Great Dorset Steam Show last week, and came across these : (see attached) .
The Chevy was, according to the data plate, once a C15A-VAN-2, although she bears little resemblance to this now. Chassis No 4844406371, Engine No PR 4008885, SM 6439-M, Dec 8-44. The two FWD's, one Canadian and the other American, both belong to the same owner, having been restored a few years ago. Nice to see such rare trucks out. Regards Keith

G'day Keith,
I just said to Jill last weekend that we were at Great Dorset 2 years ago. Time flies doesn't it. I had a long chat with the owner of the FWD HAR-1, Derek Turner, whilst we were there. He had done a lot of work to bring it back from the wreck he started with. Derek has owned it since 1947 and after using it in the family firm, decided to restore it and that is the result. How is Dan? Does he show the bicycles at all? Regards Rick (and Jill)

There was a 4X4 FWD COE truck at Colin Andersons auction in 2003. It was a massive truck but pretty complete . It was RHD from memory. There was virtually nil interest in it and it sold for around $100. Apparently the shire up there used it . I hope the scrappy didn't buy it as it must have weighed 5 tons

Hi Rick and Jill
Your right, time does fly !. Dan and I only went for the day, and had to be very quick getting around, (I'd forgotten how big this show is ). I've decided that we will stay over next year, as there is far too much to look at in one day. Yes, Dan does show his bike, and it gets far more attention than I thought. We recently went to Fly to the Past at Kidlington Airport and as he had worn his RAF uniform, he was getting lots of requests for photo's of him with his bike !. He may have the other one finished for next year. Hope all is well with you guys. David, I'm glad it's another one you can add to your database, did you record the date as well ? Regards Keith
