Thanks for those pics, Les, roll-on the rest!

Do us a favour, though, would you? Take your digital and get some nice clear shots of Nigel's book so I can put it up in the appropriate thread(s)... thank you, I would greatly appreciate that! You can send me uncompressed pics and I'll do the rest and give you the photo credit.

:cheers:

Beltring, Friday July 20
 

Here is a photo taken at the LwD stall. From left to right:
Lance Skinner, Roger Ladyman, James Gosling, Brian Gough,
Dirk Leegwater, Al Nickolson, Barry Churcher, Stefan Leegwater.
It is a rare occasion that three Fox owners (Lance, James and Dirk)
are together at one time.

Mvg. Dirk

It was my first "Beltring" and I can only say that it was super!. It was hard to find the time to talk to everyone, walk through the stalls, see the vehicles, enjoy the arena-shows, talk through some scale-modeling projects, helping with the book-introduction and taking part in a living history group. There was just so much to see!

Anyway, it was great, with the only downside being the rain and following mud (oh, and an empty battery in the camera:doh: )

@ Dirk and Stefan. I was hoping to come over for a chat after our initial "hello", but found the clocking ticking faster that I hoped.

@ Nigel. Thanks you so much!

Attached some pictures I took while the camera-battery was in working order...

more pictures

Does anyone know more about this Ford tractor? Maybe owned by a forum member?

Each time I visit these events and talk to the people there , it becomes harder and harder NOT to buy an actual vehicle and just keep on concentrating on scale models :bang:

Alex

Had to smile at Martins photo of the mud i have been there when the top dries out, its like walking on a mattress. I note Alex had a good time on his first visit and posted some photos its amazing what you find at the show and what you miss. Think i have done all 25 now plus the previous shows at Tenterden. As promised here are some more of the photos i took on the Thursday

Nice restoration of a CMP with big boots and a fifth wheel on the chassis, dont know but was this a ex logger

two nice U.S Navy jobs

Tasty 30cwt CMP, not to sure about the body though
The chevrolet earth borer was a real treat good to see something a little on the unusual side

Gama Goat chugged around the site sounding like a old farm tractor

Its not often these days to see 4 of these in a row M8s

One of my favourites the Autocar U-8144T tractor, oh to see one with the pontoon and trailer one day

Did anyone spot a Jeep marked up with a white polar bear on a black background and a green square with a white 62 on it? That should be the markings for a vehicle of the Leicestershire Regiment, 49th Division, a mate of mine saw it twice but I couldn't find it anywhere!

Very usefull in the UK at the moment with a bit to much water

Tractor
 

I didn't find this truck until the last day when it was being loaded. The owner says its an original tractor but the fifth wheel is not correct. He is looking for an original. He got the truck painted just in time for Beltring. His name is Roger Graystone and he is from Ipswich.

NOT A SINGLE PHOTO OF A SEXTON!

Barry,

Thanks for some background info on the tractor. Just like you I found the truck on the last day. Just in time!

A very interesting project!

Some extra pictures of this one:

Not roadworthy!
 

Auuuuuuahhhhh :bang:

I think the fitting of the fifth wheel coupling is not roadworthy.

Drilling holes in the top side of a U-section member (beam) is strictly prohibited.

That guy has no idea, how to fit a fifth wheel coupling on a truck.
