Gentlemen,

I have just spent the weekend at the IF museum and as usual have enjoyed the company of all of the other "Bloody Volunteers", two in particular come to mind Mark "I dont snore" Tewksbury and Alan Harris both of which got stuck into finishing off a small three cylinder Allan donated to the Museum by the SEAMS group just after christmas this year, the engine was built in 1932 and has sat in a gentlemans garden for several years until recovered by the group.
If you go to this link you will see my pictures.

Thanks for posting the pics Martin, It's always nice to see whats been happening.
From the pictures it looks like a great deal of work has been carried out over the winter especially on the Allen, which is looking really impressive.
Hope to see you all soon

Paul.

Thanks for the pictures, Martin. Unfortunately, the weather on Monday put paid to the "outdoor" exhibits (apart from a couple of hardy souls), so it's good to see Sunday's turnout recorded.

I took plenty of video clips of the various engines running throughout the weekend, a 15 minute compilation can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2UwNmEY ... ture=inbox

Unfortunately I didnt get chance to video the new compressor set in action (Wonder why that could be :wink: ).
