Gentlemen,

Well we are here, stopped on route, Nottinghamshire, to collect from Jim Perkins a Petter Diesel Air Cooled test engine which via Astle Park is going to IF. We then carried onto the 1000 Engine site in the pouring rain to find very wet conditions underfoot, overfoot, infoot. You name it the water is everywhere, our trailer tent is erected and we are dry fed and watered, hoping for a better day tomorrow. I wish. All the usual crew are here so plenty to chat to and hopefully lots to look at.
Will drip sorry drop a few more lines tomorrow.

Gentlemen,

All in all Saturday turned out to be not to bad a day, a couple of short sharp showers and a lot of wind but otherwise a good day Jon Rochead turned up for the day after ringing me about conditions, lots to see until I tripped over my walking stick and buggered my leg again. Will have a go at taking some pictures tomorrow to put up.

Gentlemen,

Didnt take many pictures due to left leg causing me grief and the damned rain, tried uploading a few but the signal for my dangle not very good so will have to wait till tomorrow, I did photograph a nice interesting Lister D badged as an F which was quite close to me :lol: anyway rains have stopped and its now hot and sunny, tomorrow will take down a dried out trailer tent and wend our way home.

Here is a picture of the D

Mark,

Numpty by name Numpty by nature then :lol: we at Astle Park did get word that Paul and Hazel were running late because of some late arrivals.

Jon,

A nice little video, nice to see my "A" running surprisingly untroubled, its taking a little of my time to get use to its quirks.
