Brilliant day out

Went to the steam fair at Norton Fitzwarren yesterday. Brilliant day out and well worth the 12 quid entry fee. Loads of old bikes and cars and some proper engineering from when they used to build stuff to stay built.

Didn't see a thing made in Germany all day.

Bet you saw a few things made in Thetford though !!! ( Burrell engines )
The workshops are still standing and are used as a museum now

Sure did! Charlie knew a thing or two about putting an engine together. He never once put a petrol engine into anything he built.
