Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A small affir in it's infant years just outside Westbury in Wiltshire. Not a lot to see but I go every year to keep the numbers up in the hope it will increase in exhibitor numbers each time. Held in April, here are some of the pics I got when me and the boss called in for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 This old Volvo belongs to the haulier still, they now run a mix of FM, FH, Scania and Daf trucks on stone haulage from bricks to Portland boulders as well as general haulage.

Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 For me, the ERF tractor unit was one of the best I have ever seen I think. The colours, it's original look, its English-ness. ... Juts a joy to see there. Wonder ifhe got out without banging those two spots off though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellarian Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A small affir in it's infant years just outside Westbury in Wiltshire. Not a lot to see but I go every year to keep the numbers up in the hope it will increase in exhibitor numbers each time Missed you on the Sunday Tris ... but then the grass was long... BTW it has been going since 1985 - used to be on the show field at Fitzroy and the caravan clubs from New Forest etc used to descend, show went down hill late 90's (committee falling out etc) but in a recovery phase now. Having grown up in Bratton same people year in year out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 I thought better of taking a pic of that horrid blue Flintstones Scania from down the trading estate. What an eye sore!!! His little restored artic is a much better view Hope more people come each year, more commercials this year I think wasn't there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellarian Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 A few more, could have done with Rog Pearce emptying his yard for the old stuff, Chris Awdry's for the new - then you could have a real show!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 Could have show if Rog Pearce turned up in his shorts he was wearing the other day, he is driving a trailer for M&J. .. funny bu66er!! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Good weather for that event by the look of it mate. Nice to see local stuff at these little "do's". I remember those bedford fire engines from years ago. What sort of RR engines were fitted in trucks like that ERF then, and how many hp were they?? ERF don't exist anymore do they i think the last ones were rebadged MAN's Come to think of it, you don't see hardly anything with "Built in Britain" on it any more Tell Traci I like her hat in that pic, very ummmm, different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 It was a 290 in that ERF Mark but what the class or type of Roller it was in there I wouldn't know. My friends dad used to take a Bedford TK based turntable ladder to the show, it was 100ft. Being a stupid idiot at the age of about 13 I climbed to the top and pulled a mooney across the showground at the Semmington Steam Rally!!! I got bo!!ocked needless to say when I came back down!! :D Traci loves her hats. .. I don't Joking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
