Bedfordshire Steam Fair 2022

Attended today and have to say it was a wonderful day, bright sunshine and a very good show at a beautiful location. I’ll start posting some photos as I get chance.

A ‘Noddy Van’ built by Star Coachworks for BRS Parcels on Austin chassis and running gear. They made 3 and 5 ton versions, also some flatbeds for the meat haulage side of BRS. They were everywhere in the UK at one time.

Thankyou Mr Rush, I’ve never seen one before. They look very 60s.

My uncle used to drive one for BRS in Bedford and yes that was in the 60’s home everyday for lunchtime, can’t imagine that happening nowadays.

It was the weekend just gone and was held at The grounds of Turvey house just outside Bedford in the village of Turvey, a very good event and bigger than I thought it would be. Lots of stuff I didn’t photograph as I was with my wife and grandchildren. Very well organised and laid out over a large area, car parking very easy as was exiting, I arrived early so was nice and quiet to start with but by lunchtime it was packed. I hope they use this location again as perfect for me and stunning scenery.

Thank you for posting.

Lovely pictures! I wish we could gather as many beautifully restored vehicles in France! I spotted a French Latil…

Is that a home-made tin-front cab on that AEC Militant (if it is a Militant)?

Smart livery. Is that a Harrington something? Cavalier?
