After last years show which I thoroughly enjoyed I decided that I would make the effort to attend this years show and it was well worth my while. There was a different selection of plant at work of which I will post a few pictures. The weather had been as cold as winter by me last night and despite the forecast of a sunny day I wondered just how cold it would be, as happened it was a scorcher and I caught the sun on my neck and face.

Re: Chipping Steam Fair 2013
Hi Jeremy,
Glad to see you had a good day, and thanks for the pics.
I'm pleased to see another old Fowler out there. Nice restoration too.
They obviously couldn't find an original Burgess oil bath air cleaner, they appear to have fitted a later Aveling Marshall 140 replacement.

Pm'd you about the possible age of this machine knowing that you are the Fowler expert.

Joe I believe its a full size replica that contains parts from the real thing; for those who wanted you could pay and have your photo taken in the cockpit.
