Sept. 5th 2014: Great Dorset Steam Fair

[xoxoxoBruce]

Oh yes, the roar of the steam boilers, the smell of the crowd.
I'm partial to the man made leviathans also, but looking through the site map there's a hell of a lot of other stuff going on too. Something for everyone.


Lots of pictures in the gallery.

Although I wouldn't mind if they were, they're not stuck in the stodgy past.


Luxury camping... Well not exactly luxury, but for not a whole lot of money it should placate most picky spouses.

Luxury ZooLoos Facilities and Powder Room - £35 per person ... for your full stay!

Package includes:
•Pitch in dedicated internal campsite
•Hot private showers & luxury toilets
•Exclusive VIP access to toilets on the main showground all week
•Powder Room hair & makeup pamper areas
•Hair dryers and straighteners
•Chill-out areas
•Dedicated 24hr security

Looks like a lot of fun. Good find, Carruthers.

Thanks, Bruce. By coincidence, I toyed with the idea of posting the first of your three pics.

The aircraft are from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight of the RAF. The Lancaster is flanked by a Spitfire and Hurricane.
This year the Lancaster has been joined in some of its displays by the only other airworthy example which flew over from Canada.
There is nothing quite like the sound of Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.

It looks like they've dug some WW I style trenches complete with barbed wire, too.
