Tidy from OZ.

Tidy, yes, but I’d find the second one much easier to reverse than that little pup behind the first.

Any idea what that 8 legger is?

[jshepguis]

I think it’s an ACCO an oz International.

1970commer:
You kept this one quiet Pete, making out you’re a poor old pensioner that can only just afford to put a cupful of 4 star in a couple of old stationery engines when all the time you have your name on this.

I saw it at Whitby steam rally on Saturday, I had to nip up on a mission of mercy.

As a certain old driver pulled up in the field with a fairground organ in the back of his ERF he heard a noise & felt a clatter, it was just as though the centre bearing had gone so lo & behold Mr. Howard asked me to collect one, nip it up & fit it. The aforementioned driver did what he does best all day, sit in a chair drinking tea, can you spot him ? he’s the one next to the monkey who collects money!!!

I hope you’re behaving up at Cromford, we don’t want Mr. Mellor having to evict you from site.

‘A cupfull of 4 star’ young Robert? In 24 years of exhibiting engines I have only ever used unleaded or kerosene! Now Mr Mellor, I don’t know the chap personally but back in the later nineties I asked him (via phone) for an entry form for Belper. He asked what I had then when I replied said “we are full” so I asked him why he hadn’t said that in the first place then? He replied that he would find room “if I had something interesting” so I told him “Oh, like the hotel that is fully booked unless the Queen wants a room then?” and never bothered with him again! Cromford was OK though, just got back home before a thunderstorm and rain arrived.

Young Gavin looks well in that pic though, I usually see him at the Lincoln rally and wouldn’t have recognized him in that soldiers outfit but it suits him. See what you mean about the monkey sitting on the right though, an ugly looking sod ain’t he?

Pete.

Correct. I drove an older version of that when we first got to Oz. It had a joey box.

I wonder how old that photo is Buzzer, very tidy. They liked those 8 leggers in Greece.
