Northleach Steam Fair

This was a good event, held for the first time at Notgrove.

Here is a collection of sacks saved from obscurity by the owner, you probably won't see anything like this again.

It was a great treat to see Karl Buckingham at the show. Karl restored this Lister generating set, given to the R and A trust, which was a little beyond the resources of the trust to restore. Karl has around a hundred Lister engines so we passed it on to him as it stood a better chance of being restored to working order.

A working engine has a much brighter future than a kit of parts. Clearly from the video below, this was the right decision as Karl had it working within days of taking it away. The set will be going with Karl down to Exeter to power lights at a Christmas event in November, on commercial property owned by the Lister family.

Please excuse the low flying tethered balloon in the top left of the video!
